A company in transition

Pros

Amazing history, tremendous brand, the mission of giving the world the news and information it needs is still there, somewhere. Fantastic people, smart, and who generally take care of one another. You feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself.

Cons

The company culture has changed. Internal politics have gotten worse. Ratings are not where they should be. Concerns that new management seems to care less and less about taking care of employees. Definite split between New York and Atlanta.

Good company, needs more vision

Pros

Coworkers are smart, dedicated and want to do well. Everyone works hard and is pleasant to one another, for the most part.

Cons

The company has undergone a lot of change over the past few years, but still lacks large-scale vision for its future. Needs to improve, in risk of losing its serious, authoritative voice on news.

Pros

I was given a lot of responsibility, very quickly -- more so than I've heard one gets at other television news organizations. The bureau in which I worked was growing fast, and anyone who showed any competence got promoted within a short time.

Cons

The flip side to the Pros -- fast growth, lots of responsibility handed out -- is that sometimes someone is given more responsibility than they're ready for. If you have to work with someone like that, you'll find yourself picking up their slack. But again, if you see that as an opportunity, it's not really even a Con.
