Pros

It is a large company that is very well-known in the media/communications industry. Very good training for the account executives and lots of clients are already aware of the Clear Channel brand. Very good on your resume and great opportunity to get free tickets to concerts and music events. Very fun, young and energetic environment, great first job out of college. Very good company for networking in the communications industry as well.

Cons

Big downside is the compensation package which is based on level of experience and list of clients you can bring to Clear Channel. Just be careful when looking at the compensation package, especially if it is heavily commission-based, which is very risky if you don't have an extensive list of clients and loyal buyers.

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

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

Cons

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.
