Pros

To any outsider, you would think (the Redmond campus) iwould be a cool place to work. With the private concerts from up and coming to established artists are cool and some of the employees are nice. I live only 6 miles away, so my commute is good with low miles.

Cons

Management is terrible! Low wages and in the four years I've been here, I've received one (yes, one) raise at 2%. No room for growth and/or advancement. CEO is clueless about how other departments function on a daily. HR department protects only exectutive management said everyone else is expendable.

Pros

The people, hands down, make this company. PlayNetwork has some of the best talent in the industry and there has historically been a collaborative approach that encourages mutual respect and an opportunity to grow professionally. Leadership is approachable. The (former) culture was fun, upbeat, and celebrated the employees and their contributions to the company. The in house concerts by up and coming artists are very cool, and the appreciation and contributions to the artistic community are admirable.

Cons

The culture that once drew and kept A-list talent no longer applies. Work/Life balance is not encouraged. Pay has been cut. Departments are incredibly understaffed and overworked. Health plan is expensive. Employees who were once valued are now being treated (and voiced) by leadership as replaceable commodities - while that same leadership maintains that the services the company provides are NOT a commodity. HR is one sided and has unusual influence and power within the organization. Lots of skirting of ownership departmentally.

Pros

Good company culture, overall most of the employees are pretty laid back and enjoy music. Before major holidays, the CEO let's people leave work early and company is closed on Weekends** (** = see cons)

Cons

You are supposed to work one half day on a Saturday about 1-2 times per month, only the Customer Support agents though, everyone else is excluded. Management in this department is way over their head and the true head of the department always sits behind a closed door and never says anything to anyone. The department is so understaffed due to employees leaving, not internal promotions as they tell you in the interview. Even though they have a technical services team, YOU are the one who does all of the troubleshooting and if you cannot resolve the issue, these people just schedule a tech, that's it....
