CCME is just like all corporate media companies, but with a lot more debt, so there's a lot more pressure for revenue. - Account Executive iHeartMedia Employee Review

Pros

Compensation opportunity is very high. You're working in the entertainment industry so you are able to meet/work with a lot of well known entertainers/celebrities. Most everyone employed is extremely experienced and are some of the best in their respective fields. They are the biggest company in their field and have a huge network.

Cons

The following is typical of a large company like Clear Channel that are driven for the bottom line. If you can't put up with an environment like this, I suggest you look into something else for a living. CC is a very large greedy corporation. It is very cutthroat industry. Upper management tends to be out of touch with their employees. They only look at the bottom line and don't consider all the other moving pieces. Everyone is encouraged to work as a team, but in reality everyone is out for each other's throats. Work/Life balance is terrible. People that consistently work hard/smart are not rewarded as much as people that get lucky or that brown nose management. They claim to be better than the competition, but are not much different than the other large companies they compete with. Morals/Ethics of some management are questionable at times.

incredible place for growth both professionally and personally. great leadership that is supportive and cares about your success. opportunities to work with a diverse portfolio of clients and contribute to meaningful campaigns that make an impact. tools and resources are top notch and strong brand recognition.

Cons

like any sales role, high expectations come with pressure to not only meet but exceed revenue goals. can be a very fast paced environment for some.

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.
