Pros
- iHeart is a big name to have on your resume and will garner attention from prospective employers - The iHeart Digital Solutions roles are a good way to transition to a more marketing focused role from a different profession.
Cons
- Working with sales people who do not understand the digital products and are only one step above used car salesman. - This is a churn and burn position, they expect Digital Account Managers to only last about 18 months. You will work well in excess of 40 hours a week and always be behind. - Shockingly rude and unprofessional behavior from other employees, market presidents down to sales assistants. The things people were willing to write in emails is ridiculous. One lunatic actively refers to himself as "the king." The type of behavior that would get you dragged in front of HR or flat out fired in any other company. - No advancement opportunity, they do not promote from within for iHDS team and hire manager positions almost exclusively from outside. - They leverage the "cool factor" of working for a major media company to pay less than market rate and offer a poor benefits package for such a large employer. - General lack of transparency. They suspended 401K matching in March 2021 at the start of the pandemic, didn't start matching again or make any mention of it in the two year since. - Its a sales first company, quality of content and media plans that make sense are of secondary importance
