Pros

It's THE place to work if you want to work in radio, since they own pretty much every radio station out there.

Cons

Horrible morale in the company, because everybody is constantly looking over their shoulder to see if they're the next person to get one of Bob Pittman's Christmas presents, also known as a pink slip. Fewer people are being asked to do more work for no extra money under the guise of "you should be happy you have a job," which is a phrase I, and many of my fellow employees heard on more than one occasion. It doesn't matter if you're actually good at your job, if you make anything more than minimum wage, your head is on the chopping block. I guess they have to pay for those corporate jets and mist tunnels somehow.

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.
