      Pros

      Mass population of people are caring and loving people who want to make a difference in their community and world.

      Cons

      The amount of stress placed on Media Strategy is unacceptable. Sales leadership is more sales accountants tracking the various activity level (cold calls, proposals, closes) in an ineffective CRM (Radio based). Managers are not providing effective strategies to network with potential clients. The powerful digital strategies are that Media Strategist are not Salem Media property. Getting proper support and accountability for result presents a challenge. I valued my 2 years at Salem Media and hope they turn things around.

      Pros

      Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

      Cons

      Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
