Pros

- Tremendous facilities - Good matching 401k option - Interesting and fulfilling work -Most employees seem to enjoy what they do. -Fun atmosphere, at any given time people could be tossing a football across the studio or be entrenched in an intense game of ping-pong. -The best of the best work here. Everyone is very good at their job. -Entry-level PAs are paid hourly meaning during the particularly busy parts of the year you get those OT hours. -Promotion from within is commonplace and NBCU is such a massive company that movement is very possible.

Cons

-Pay is OK by industry standards but still not anything great. -Hours are outlandish. Expect nights and weekends. -Hourly employees DO NOT get paid time off. No sick days, no vacation days. This is my main gripe.

Pros

Great "VIP" pass for your family and friends at the theme parks

Cons

Unless you work in new venture, the business is pretty dull (a bit like a utility company). Very risk averse company. Very slow and "matrixed" decision process. A lot of "lifers" in middle management ranks that resist change.
