Pros

Some of the benefits are great! And, for those to whom this is important, there is always the glamor of working in entertainment.

Cons

GE has taken over and morale has plummeted. That's why I don't work there anymore. Management talks a good game, but they seem to be less concerned about the quality of their product (not to mention how they treat employees) than they are about pinching pennies. As my grandmother used to say, "penny wise and pound foolish"
