Pros
You can move up if you are low-level. Put your head down and pretend you know what you are doing. They can't tell the difference. There are a lot of good people. They are lax about drinking in the office. The new 7 extension makes the office really easy to get to.
Cons
In my opinion very much a sweat shop environment. Rows and rows of people miserably pretending to get things done. Lot's of departmental heads that don't really have the necessary experience to oversee production. They are very very picky about normal acceptable work standards. They will take serious notice of any sick days, which are unpaid. Lax safety standards resulted in a union taking over negotiations for workers. Company fought tooth and nail against the process suggesting often that their half billion dollar company would no longer be profitable if basic workplace standards were met. Those who did not attend "optional" anti-union information events planned by the company were quietly not renewed for new shows. Projects are misbudgeted in terms of dollars and time. Often they will reach a broad net for free-lancers booking them for projects based on schedules that have not been approved by network. This leads to frequent unpaid delays for jobbers, as well as full out cancelations of held dates on short notice. Schedules are a nightmare, and are NEVER realistic or plausible when paired with staffing budgets. The brunt of this is felt by office staff. People work LATE. Everyone is stretched too thin. Production Management is a nightmare, but it's really not their fault. Often PM's are on 5 or 6 shows at a time with impossible budgets. They are pressured to save at expense of field crews. Crews are heavily traveled on LONG field shoots to save money. Expect motels and connecting flights. The cheapest option is ALWAYS selected. Zero benefits. No paid vacation. High floor balcony They are unionized now, but I cannot say I honestly forsee any real changes. Problems are systemic.
