Pros

The people are 95% of the reason staying at that company longer than a week is possible. Some of the kindest and easy going people I've ever encountered at a job. The benefits are also pretty good. Solid amount of time off and insurance is okay.

Cons

If you are working in any job not directly tied to some kind of tv production you are a second class citizen and will be treated with frequent disrespect and contempt. Security, Custodial, and Kitchen staff are all treated so poorly I honestly can't believe the keep staff. Entire sections of management in these teams are so inept and petty that getting any actual work done is nearly impossible while also navigating their egos. Any on air talent or associated employees are immune to consequence. I had numerous employees across all positions frequently treat me and my team with disrespect and was told by my manager to "suck it up and not let people control my day." There is also little to no upward mobility for anyone who hasn't interned as a page.

Pros

No accountability. Decisions are made on a whim. Moving forward with things is impossible so if you want to hang out for like 9 months before they find something for you to work on, this is great.

Cons

Erratic and emotionally driven leaders result in lots of reorgs and politicking

Pros

There are none right now

Cons

Ridiculous surveillance of days in the office. Presenteeism at its worst No consideration of work/life balance. Forced to do extra days to make up for missing the target in previous weeks. Staff morale is at rock bottom. Staff now feel that they can’t even take sick days. Days in the office being used in performance reviews
