Pros

iHeart as a company is incredible. The mission, systems, and overall culture are exactly what many professionals dream of creative, fast-paced, and full of opportunity. On a corporate level, they truly have the structure and resources in place to help employees succeed.

Cons

Unfortunately, market level local & market leadership did not reflect the same professionalism or integrity that iHeart Corporate promotes. Despite being misled to believe they did. While SVP was based in another market, in house training depended on local employee for proper guidance to be given. Instead, I was repeatedly given incorrect information and “half-truths” — a pattern that could easily be described as gaslighting. When I raised concerns through email with my SVP and sought support, those issues were quietly brushed aside, told to the employee, and I was given excuses by the very individual who was supposed to address them privately and professionally. SVP, failed to respond to multiple emails asking for direction or clarity and retaliation was done to see me gone for addressing things that I was simply trying to understand. Generally terminated for "lack of" production, however TX unemployment reviewed documentation and evidence I kept; my claim was approved — confirming that leadership lack of "gossip" accountability was an issue, not my direct or lack of performance.

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.
