Pros

If you love AM radio, boy, do I have just the company for you

Cons

Salem Media Group…what can I say? It's an old media company hemorrhaging money because it refuses to pivot away from radio. Not only that, but they just laid off members of their most profitable division, making it even HARDER for that division to be profitable. I have been here for almost three years, and although a 401K match was promised, I got it for 2 months before it was "paused" indefinitely. So, that's one form of compensation that I'm not getting. Avoid this company.

Pros

Great supportive local environment, people called to work there to support the mission.

Cons

Corporate digital leadership is disjointed and systems are chaotic. Actual delivered campaigns are inevitably flawed and mis managed. Retaliatory, narcisstic, abusive corporate digital leadership. Constant systems changes and zero assistance in navigating. More and more digital agency and other jobs outsourced to Asia. Salespeople are exhausted and burned out by programs failing. Zero accountability taken by Ad Ops team for mistakes or extrene lag time in responses from internal automated systems. Salary cuts to 'help the company' plays on the mission minded employees, taking advantage of employees good intentions by underpaying them compared to industry. No 401K match.
