Pros

Good experience. Nice co-workers. Enjoy working in cutting edge reality television.

Cons

Upper management doesn't understand why people leave their company - it's because they pay next to nothing. The pay is way below the industry average. The benefits don't quite cut it either. The endless politics that the big three create leaves morale at an all time low. I would definitely not recommend working here.

Pros

Shows are simple to produce, content is not rocket science. They tell new hires the hours are 9-6, which might be the case for some, but not all. Many hours spent doing a double workload because upper management refused to ask CEOs for needed support. Offices are in sketchy locations- one employee witnessed a murder next door while walking to the building and could have gotten shot.

Cons

Heard more than one employee refer to Pie Town as the "special ed class of production" which is awful. No one in town respects the company because they don't produce to industry standards (no permits, no location budgets, cheaping out on every vendor for free services, etc.) Insultingly low pay, very clique-ish atmosphere. If you didn't go to Emerson, don't bother going to Pie Town. You won't be promoted and the Emerson people are entitled. Owners uninterested in fixing problems and would rather bury their heads in the sand. Company is losing most of its programming.

Pros

The hours are great & the staff is fun and friendly. Everyone seems to understand that we're not curing cancer, we're just making television.

Cons

The pay and the disconnection between the different departments. One day, this is how we are told to do things and then a month later, it's a whole different story. There is no team between production and post production. There's a lot of the blame game that goes back and forth unfortunately.
