Pros

Overall a network with great reputation producing award winning news

Cons

Depending on your position it can feel very hierachical. Traditional structure with a lot of managers and midlevel managers and everyone afraid to make decisions, always nervously looking over their shoulder to see if the big bosses in America would approve. Opportunities given to some on-screen talent and higher position roles does not translate further down. Easy to feel stuck and prohibited from excelling.
