Pros

Company Name recognition, Clear Channel is Every WHERE in some way or another, all over the world. Company is very involved in Charities, Blood/Food Drives and Walks. That's about it

Cons

Around me is a creation of a revolving door at ALL Levels, Markets and Corporate. Contractors coming in by the boatload since their pay comes from the Capital Budget, however, in turn, veteran employees with the company have seen NO PAY INCREASES in over the three years, Bonuses are sketchy/non-existent because OUR pay comes from the Operating Budget which is vastly smaller than Capital. Company is focused on VP & High position compensation. Company funds contributed to Presidential Elections with ties to the Company. Taking money that could go to compensate employees fairly instead of paying for a President to get to the top, THAT YOU DIDN'T VOTE FOR!!!! There is ABSOLUTELY NO Pay structure!!!! Too many Smoking Mirrors.... right before your eyes you see the NEW people replaced with the OLD because the New doesn't know any better and they have that drive and optimism the Old once did. Micro-management differs from position/location/manager and it IS out there.

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.
