Pros

iHeart is a company that prides itself on its National events, promotions and its premium streaming platform. The company benefits are good and radio in general is a really fun atmosphere to work in every day. It's not unusual to crack open beers at 5pm or have the office close early for a team bonding at a local bar. Celebrities frequently pay visits, do live performances in your office, and there are usually tickets for various events and concerts available for most people who would like them.

Cons

Iheart operates on a very lean budget compared to other media companies. They pay their promotions and marketing staff on an hourly basis and they do not want them to work over-time. The quality of staff that is willing to work under these circumstances is much lower quality than is available at other higher paying companies. The company is constantly shrinking requiring that people, especially managers, take on roles that 5 years ago would have been done by 5 people.

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.
