      Pros

      - Amazing Co-Workers, everyone is super helpful and a lot of employees will ask about what your goals are long-term and offer advice - Great for making connections, people are really awesome about allowing you to shadow other positions (if you are proactive in asking) - Decent Freelance Rate (if you can get enough hours, this is totally livable)

      Cons

      - Tasks can get monotonous after a few months, it's mainly working teleprompter and distributing scripts/taking care of anchors - Specifically as a freelancer, unless you outline your hours in the beginning, you can get some crazy hours (5am shifts, Overnights, etc.) - because management does not have to abide by the same rules as they do for their full time news assistants

      Pros

      Management treats freelancers well. While they want you available when you are needed they are respectful of other commitments.

      Cons

      Employees can take awhile to warm up to new blood.
