      Management can't figure it out

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits - extensive time off. The "little people" work their butts off

      Cons

      Senior management can't figure out what they want the network to be. News? Scripted shows? Politics? Because they can't figure it out, they let people go. Also, everything is very "siloed" so each group has no idea what the other group is working on. Shows compete against each other for guests or pieces. You have to try to do everything 15 times because there is no central authority saying "This is how we are doing it and everyone will use this guest or piece."

      Great benefits, competitive compensation, low morale at the moment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are competitive as is the salary (once you reached a certain level). Here you have the opportunity to work with people who are dedicated and care about their jobs…they also care about their co-workers.

      Cons

      There are several layers in management…which leads to bottlenecking and lack of communication between departments. Morale is pretty low right now with people concerned about whether or not they are about to lose their jobs.
