Pros

- Overall fairly nice place to work. You have a few bad apples here and there but overall everyone is pretty friendly - Good benefits and amenities? The lunchroom is pretty convenient and fairly affordable, healthcare and 401K are great

Cons

- They're cutting costs significantly and everyone else is suffering as a result - Not enough staffing all around so when one person calls out you can be called for short turnarounds, work a week straight or more, or work more than 12 hrs a day to cover shifts - They don't seem to promote much or give raises despite having very capable staff who might already be doing the job they're hiring someone else for - Its not easy to get jobs much less interviews in other departments of the company. It almost feels you'd have a better chance at a job if you weren't an NBC employee - Hiring managers/recruiters can be very elitist in selecting candidates. Most of the candidates I've seen come through in the past few years have been predominantly White with degrees from expensive colleges - There's a lot if subtle racism that goes unchecked and HR/managers will more quickly punish someone for reacting to it as opposed to correcting the behavior of the person perpetrating it
