Pros

they will hire basically anyone, so if you are grossly incompetent or unqualified you are in luck.

Cons

This is one of the most unprofessional working environments I have ever seen. The people who used to go to the boss's summer camp are treated entirely differently than those who did not. There are people who went to the camp who show up high, drunk, don't do the work, or flagrantly late, and nothing happens to them. Sometimes they are even promoted! If you aren't one of the special few who they like, you will just languish indefinitely while doing the most boring and soul sucking work of all time. There is no positive reinforcement, you can stay late and work hard and no one will say anything encouraging. The only feedback you get is if you do something wrong. I cannot stress what a gossipy sorority this place is. If you make one offhanded comment, it will surely reach the desk of an EVP, and there will be hell to pay. They may be nice to your face, but they will stab you in the back the next second. The compensation is absolutely pathetic. This may be OK to the various morons they hire who still live at home in Long Island, but to people who actually have bills to pay, it is problematic. You will often have to stay late, or sit around and do nothing, with no guidance on how long you have to stay. If you ask to leave since you have nothing to do you are made to feel guilty. The work is the most boring, tedious, mindless work I can imagine. Please, I beg of you, find somewhere else to work.

Pros

- Nice coworkers - snacks - 2 days a week in office

Cons

- I would gain experience then out ASAP, TV is a dying industry and it's not good to stay at ITN for long or you'll find you can never leave. - They don't use the software that most other media companies use, instead they use their own proprietary technology. Lots of people seem trapped here and want to leave but don't have the right knowledge because they've stayed for too long. Staying here more than 2 years would be a mistake for anyone wanting to grow their career outside of the company. - Everyone is underpaid. I got a 40% raise when I switched jobs.
