Pros
- Produces one of the top rated shows and it never goes on hiatus, so you are working all year - Opportunities to go on shoots - Learn a lot since it a smaller company - Co-workers are like family - Paid federal holidays - Easy 9-5 work week (almost unheard of when working in television)
Cons
- Pay is very low for the amount of work you do - Easily burnt out - Work is very monotonous and boring at times - A lot of micro-managing, management doesn't trust employees to make decisions - No health benefits ( company keeps everyone as a contracted employee even though you work throughout the year in order to keep from paying benefits) -No room for growth or career advancement -Office politics (favored employees are allowed to take paid time off and better career opportunities) - Departments are segregated (makes for awkward office parties), i.e. post only hangs out with post, producers only hang out with producers, etc. -Lack of diversity (not many people of color working in the office - especially in the higher management positions) -High turn over rate - Weird cult like attitude (if you leave the company, the people you worked with act like you betrayed them and stop talking to you because you left)
