Loved working at CBS! Great management, straight to the point scheduling,fun work environment, and decent compensation for a part time position.

Inputted pre-produced commercials into on-air system for playback. Wrote, voiced and produced numerous advertisements that ran on-air. Conducted an independent study about careers in radio broadcasting which gave me a thorough understanding of the skills and or education needed to succeed within each department. Management was a guiding presence that – more... gave me the room to thrive while teaching me the skills needed to succeed in the radio industry. Co-workers were always friendly and supportive of my efforts. The hardest part of the job was staying mentally engaged through the really dull parts of my intern responsibilities such as filing and inputting production orders into the on-air system. I enjoyed creating an audio portfolio that reflected all the skills I learned throughout my internship experience with CBS Radio. I also enjoyed voicing commercial spots for the air. – less

I typical day for an Account Executive at CBS Radio includes new client prospecting, cold calling and qualifying and ultimately creating multi-platform sales campaigns to meet client needs. Existing clients require account management of ad delivery, creating broadcast copy, delivering online and digital banner creative, and securing payment terms.

I – more... have learned more at CBS than I could have imagined. I now have a solid, working understanding of broadcast radio programming, ad delivery, online marketing and assets, sponsorship terms and requirements, implementing annual advertising programs, cold-calling, and methods to qualify new business prospects. Sales is hard and there is no question about it. The most important thing I learned is that you will never get a YES if you do not ask for a YES.

I enjoyed, and still do enjoy, working at CBS. I find now that with the skills I have attained that it would be beneficial to explore new opportunities to advance in the broadcast and digital media field. – less

Individuals were creative and worked as a team. Company allowed for creative chances. No matter the challenge, the company never gave up. Faced with so many different owners and they prevailed. T

Poor work life balance and too many incompetent long-timers in the jobs affecting the overall productivity. Totally unrealistic resourcing and schedules established by management that doesn't care about the employees but only their budgets and bonuses.

All of my co-workers were like family so it never really felt like I was at work. Everyday I learned something new – more... while working with different non-profit organizations. – less

You report to the radio station, make sure you have everything you need prior to leaving for a remote in the company car. I've learned to deal with all sorts of customers and that everything is strictly business. Management is pretty standard do your job. You may or may not get praised for your hard work. If you mess up, you will be hearing from management. – more... The co-workers are all excellent teachers, have great conversation skills and each have a distinct personality. They are more like family than anything else.The hardest part of the job is weather conditions. The most enjoyable part of the job is the opportunity to meet people, normal people do not have access to. It also doesn't always feel like a job since you usually have fun doing your "events" – less

Heavy paced work enviroment where only the best can make it in advancement. Yet well rewarding money wise and community involvment.

A typical day of work would include working either an event for a client or a concert for a venue. First you start off by loading up the car with the items for the event. Setting up, working the event, tearing down and returning back to the station.
The hardest part of the job is lifting some equipment and dealing with greedy people.
The most enjoyable – more... part of the job is working concerts and meeting celebrities. – less

Everyone is really about progression and taking new risk. It is a fast paced environment, but you can move up staying ahead of the game.
