Great part-time opportunities
Radio Sound Board Operator (Current Employee), Lexington, KY –
Pros: flexible hours, great co-workers
Cons: pay
This is a great place to work for part time students. Hour's are mostly overnight but the work is fun and very easy. You are given opportunities to advance as Clear Channel has many different departments such as: advertisement and sales. Management is great! They are very flexible with your work schedule and are always available if you need help no – more...  matter what time of the night it is. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the low pay. The pay is only minimal wage but for the work you do it's fair. – less

High energy environment
Switchboard Operator, Voice (Former Employee), Norfolk, VA –
Pros: meeting new people, knowledge gained
Cons: no room for employment
Typically I would check in with the Human Resource Manager to see what her assignments were for me today. Normally I would be in the traffic department clearing affidavits, Accounts Payable clearing invoices or switchboard operator. What I learned from this experience was how to multi task and work in a balloon company that hosts many others. My co – more...  workers were great in teaching me the ins and outs of the company. The hardest part of the job was when I worked on recording commercials for the radio stations and talking without an accent. The most enjoyable part of the job was learning everything about radio. – less

Great Vision. Lacking Talent to Execute.
Director of Marketing & Digital Programming (Former Employee), St. Louis, MO –
Superior vision and foresight at the corporate level. Balanced risk taking with strong research to bolster direction. The 30,000 foot vision is ground breaking in an industry sorely lacking visionaries. However, the private equity style of management at the local market level is sorely lacking and short sighted. Great vision cannot be implemented by – more...  spreadsheets and algorithmic processes. The lack of value placed on the people (the few that remain) who work to implement the vision of the company is saddening. Great ideas stacked upon great ideas topped with broad sweeping statements of accountability fall of deaf ears at the front line of the local markets. The workload of those activating at the local level is unfathomable. The stress level at the local level is unbearable. There is no work / life balance. Sixty hour work weeks are the "reward for being employed".

Bottom line: Sell it to Google or Facebook. – less

Great summer internship
Intern (Former Employee), Dallas, TX –
Gained knowledge on how a radio station is run and how they do things. My co-workers were fun to be around too, always knowledgeable when I had questions and were always energetic about the assigned job for that day.

Radio Sales-Don't do it!
Account Manager (Former Employee), Central Florida –
Pros: fun at times, free food often, concert tickets
Cons: benefits, management, corporate initiatives, this job will take your soul
Upper management, like many large companies, only cares about the bottom line. You will only be a number to them. Corporate initiatives are ENDLESS. They are not too concerned about clients either and what's in their best interest. You will constantly be asked to jam a new initiative down a clients throat. It's ONLY about the bottom line, nothing more – more...  and nothing less. It's a job, not a career. Benefits are terrible at Clear Channel, which for a company that size simply shows that the bottom line is the only thing that matters. – less

Fun place to work, horrible pay, rough hours
Promotions assistant (Former Employee), Rockville, MD –
Pros: fun, used to get free event passes (no longer), met famous musicians
Cons: drunk and disrespectful clients, horrible pay, little to no benefits
I worked for this company making $7.00 an hour (lower than what minimum wage was raised above immediately after I left) The job was SO fun for someone who is as social as me! As long as you see it as I did as a "paid social life" it's a great job. I worked here part time because I could not afford to pay my bills living in the DC area on $7.00 an hour. – more...  My boss here, who was full time, made A LOT less than I did at my full time job alone ($14.00 an hour) and she worked about 60-70 hours per week. Good old salary for "upper level" positions. – less

An incredible experience.
Key Accounts Coordinator/Sales Assistant (Former Employee), Sales Urban Cluster Chicago –
I had a wonderful time working for Clear Channel Communications, particularly in the growing world of radio. Wouldn't trade the experience. I met some of the most fascinating personalities from the executive level to sales to promotion to production, its a well rounded organization.

Ask this fellow how much he got paid for his "incredible experience." These radio companies will either expect you to work like a slave for minimum wage OR will expect you to work for NOTHING. Especially Clear Channel!
