Pros

Freedom to come and go from the office during business hours

Cons

Trying to convince advertisers that people still listen to radio when ratings continue to plummet, but also trying to convince them that people use the iheartradio app. Extremely unorganized, you'll spend your first 6 months just trying to find sales material through 5 different outlets only to find out its outdated. Management will request to attend appointments only to cancel last minute. Culture around the office jokes about how regularly people get fired. Minimum 9 hour workday mon-fri, also expected to attend every event on weekends, and if you're not hitting your budget you're expected to work past office hours. If you aren't bringing a book of business with you, you probably wont survive. The sales team rarely hits monthly/ quarterly goals, and you're reminded in weekly sales meetings. Management plays favorites and holds grudges. Events consistently underperform. Management pretends you're evaluated on a number of metrics, but really it's if you're making budget or not. Any advertiser in business longer than 10 years had probably delt with an iHeart rep at some point and had a bad experience.

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.
