I’ve already heard great things about the Pensacola staff and I have learned how proud these employees are to be part of such a great company. I’m impressed with the consistency of the implementation of a positive culture shift that started with CEO Mary Berner, which has come up in almost 100% of the conversations I’ve had with Cumulus Media staff at every level. This will serve its employees, listeners, and customers very well as this focused, collaborative, responsible and empowering culture breeds great decision-making and execution.
