Vantaggi

The people who work here are great, making it feel like your work family. The culture is good (depending on the market), and there are opportunities to attend concerts and sporting events.

Svantaggi

The company is in an inordinate amount of debt. As a result, the execs task their markets with unreasonably high budgets year after year. In the age of digital advertising, there are SO many other options for businesses to spend their hard earned advertising dollars. Advertising on terrestrial radio peaked in the 90's / early 2000's, when there weren't nearly as many options, and the company was too late to the game with their digital offerings. It gets harder year after year to meet budgets. Couple that with commission cuts in local markets and you're left feeling under-appreciated and stressed out. Also, the health benefits aren't at all competitive. A health savings account is your only option, and the company quit contributing to the HSA's in 2015. Sales development and training is non-existent. So, if you're considering taking a sales job here and you have no radio sales experience, I highly recommend you reconsider.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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

Vantaggi

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Svantaggi

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
