Pros

Market Manager very supportive and other office personnel too.

Cons

Only Account Managers with 20+ years with Clear Channel and now iHeart Media could live on their income. High turnover for 90% of Account Managers was directly linked to being unable to make a living pushing advertising products onto Laundromats, Phone repair shops, Shoe Repair and Dental Offices; after their salary guarantee ran out. Obviously, the few Senior Account Managers with all the major Car Dealers, Furniture stores, Jewelers and Hotels had to cut their teeth the same way, all those years ago but the inequitable distribution of accounts was a major factor in having to constantly recruit and train new Account Managers every few months.

Pros

The team is very straightforward and helpful and they are willing to give you whatever tools necesary to win. One of the best teams I have ever worked with to be honestly.

Cons

Not many but you need to be flexible with hours as this is production work but that is industry standard.

Pros

Vast Resources available, biggest player in radio, multiple opportunities for growth, commissions and bonuses among the best out there

Cons

Very minimal base salary for sales positions, surprisingly low for national account executives. Moving goal posts all the time as well on performance and there's usually a sense of angst wondering if middle management positions will get eliminated at any time
