Southern Cross Austereo

A  typical day includes managing a high amount of e-mails from clients, management and production teams. Traveling to clients place of business with proposals and other information, as well as "cold calling" new businesses. The role also required regular reporting to senior management regarding progress, difficulties and help they could provide in any form.

There a so many things that were learned to list, but the main point that stands out is that tenacity is key. No matter what the topic/issue, if you persist and find the right avenue you will most likely get the desired result.

The management and co-workers were fantastic! Nothing was demonstrated but a willingness to help you grow, both personally and professionally.

The hardest part of the job was the "cold calling". As every business owner is different, you needed to find the best way to connect with them and demonstrate the benefits of advertising with the company.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the company structure, every aspect of it is designed to maximise the enjoyment and profitability for both employee and client alike.

Working for SCA for a few years in a sales coordinator/reception role in a Regional area was by far one of the best jobs and companies I've worked for. Unfortunately I was made redundant in my role which was extremely disappointing due to my passion for my role, the company, brands and industry. They have taken me back on casually in another role.
It was a pleasure to gain the experience I did and work under/with many fantastic, talented people who have helped shape me and teach me a great deal of things personally and professionally. 
Radio can be fast paced and ever evolving, there are many benefits to working in Media, especially radio, however it isn't always an easy stress free industry or role. Majority of the time the culture was great, there were the occasional downfalls, but still less than most work places I've encountered in the past with issues generally being resolved efficiently and with care. 
Overall I would recommend working for SCA if you have the opportunity to do so.

I loved working for Southern Cross, my main time with this company was over 10 years ago when i was a Senior Account Manager working for B105, I later came back to work for the company on a remote basis, living in Kingscliff and creating opportunities for account managers with B105 and Triple M.

I love the culture and how everyone strives to be the best they can be delivering outstanding customer service to clients and an on air  program for listeners that is engaging and entertaining.

A typical day would start early, planning who you were contacting, writing proposals and going out talking to businesses.

Collaboration with the creative, production and promotional teams were imperative to ensure a successful campaign for clients.

My Boss was awesome, strict but fair at the same time, we all have our differences, we get good days and bad days but we’re always supporting each other.  When it comes to Stress, we all worked very hard to meet our Project deadlines without fail, we were like Family, we were told that we inspired other Departments, we were the Best CATI Team on the Gold Coast. I was Blessed to have had the opportunity to work with them.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Street team was amazing.
Account manager role was terrible, all due to manager, having favourites is not a team.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The manager, navigating systems and no support in the account manager role. Left months ago, still waiting for HR to contact me.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Manager only. Would only be there once a month, ( which I understand) but the vibe changed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Tears, stress and no support. all training was stupid.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The occasional perks, unclaimed show/concert/event tickets 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The people, if you weren’t in sales or anything to do with a show, you were pretty much ignored 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s ok, I’ve worked in worse and better places. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard work, long hours, pay is not reflected well to the job you do.

Overall, a great company that looks after the staff it wants to keep. Being publicly listed, the shareholder is the priority and senior management will cut staff and resources to protect themselves.

There's a belief among the staff that working there makes them the best of the best but it's rarely True.

Fun place to work with lots of perks and activities.

I was with Lowes for a long time, starting as a casual then progressing to full time, then onto managing my own store.

this role was challenging but very rewarding. The company is very successful with great staff and Upper Management who are very supportive.

It was a big decision to leave to pursue my film-making dreams, but they were very understanding and supported my choice. I would go back anytime.

No two days are the same and the learning curve is huge with the ability to carve your future the way you choose.  It is a nurturing environment and the training provide allows you to delve right into the role.

Most of the people I worked with were really good fun and we got on very well.
I increased my level of computer knowledge substantially over the 4 years with the company and was given a lot of support and training by management, and they were always very family orientated.
