What is the best part of working at the company?
Decent base salary. Commission structure low until you hot your budget.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very competitive work place.  You really need to be at full pace at all times. Training is not good. The CRM team basically asks you "Who has a question?" Not proactive training. It's reactive. There seems to always be a question of what you are getting paid on Commissions & when you are actually receiving it. Verification of what you are getting paid on is vague and they rely on spread sheets that look ancient and hard to decipher.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is fast paced. They have a large sales team with many entrenched veteran sales people.  You have to bust your tail to keep pace- which is fine, but with no inherited billing list of clients, you start in a hole.

Sales managers are upbeat. Support staff is strong.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get in, check your emails, and make calls.  Do research in preparation of hitting the road to prospect.  Get into a good flow.  There is good support when you need it because you will be going non stop, and will need a hand so as not to be overwhelmed with work.

The work/life balance was amazing!  Great immediate supervisors! Everyone there cultivated a fun and productive working environment with quarterly parties and office fun days to relieve stress and practice teambuilding....all done strategically and without disrupting productivity.    It's one of the top 5 OOH advertising companies with multiple offices and amazing clientele with some room for promotion if one is willing to move.  Having said that, it's also a sales-driven environment which means changes in the market greatly affect one's job security.  If not for Covid-19, I would still be happily employed there and enjoying a promotion and raise.  Also, there was a tendency to keep temp employees there a long time before either converting them to full-time employees or letting them go.  Entry-level salaries are on the lower end of the scale and there are limited titles for promotion, although raises and bonuses were liberally granted.  It is actually worth it to take a little less money for the amazing work environment I experienced at this company! If you've ever been in a toxic workplace, you will know what I mean.

Typical day starts at the warehouse where i get all my equipment and routes for the day.Then would go out in crews of 2-4 and drive to various locations to perform work.I learned that working with others is great when u can adapt to diffrent personalities and the goal is to get the job done right and together as a team.Management was great and very helpful.Co-workers were also great at communicating and helping when needed.Hardest part of the job was learning all the difrent type of billboard structures and how to effectively work at elevated surfaces.The best part of the job was being around so many knowledgeable co-workers and learning everyday one the job.

I have never worked somewhere that had a better group of people. The DC office goes out of its way to feel like one big family. That being said, like any old school sales organization, sometimes it feels like you're on an episode of The Office and not in a good way. Hardest part of the job is the litany of different tasks using archaic software or redundant process's. If someone came in and streamlined some of these process's it would have an exponential impact on this company and their sales support staff. It's worth it though to be part of this office and its amazing culture.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The product. Signage works great for capturing views as people travel to school, work and play. The opportunity to be in neighborhoods where people live, work and shop is unparalleled.

The managerment overpaid for the inventory and they create unwarranted pressure on the sales executives to make up for their losses.

It tries to be relevant.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sell sell sell, paperwork, paperwork, paperwork

Working at Outfront Media was a positive experience in my life, from the skill set I obtained and quality work I was able to achieve in my time there.

Co-Workers were diverse in all aspects but most people kept to themselves.

Day at work would consist of researching issues with invoices that didn't match contracts, working with billing and sales to obtain revised contracts, calling agencies regarding delinquent and past due invoices, creating detailed and summary excel agings for management and clients.

A typical day consisted of cold calling, setting up meetings, working up proposals, then going out and making sales. I really enjoy the art of cold calling and being in front of clients on the daily basis, you never know what your going to get! 

In this job I learned a lot over the years, everything from patience, gratitude, most importantly how to manage people and help business grow.  

Over the years my co workers became my Houston family and I miss them dearly. Great bunch of people.
