Pros

It's a network so you can learn the basic processes and functions of departments at a network.

Cons

They don't promote. Not sure A+E will be around when the system of delivery changes for TV. It's a very 80s atmosphere. It's a company where older execs go work to pull a salary to pay their mortgage and kid's tuition, and hire all their irrelevant friends. It's not a company that's competing. They don't appreciate quality or new ideas. Look at their content. The LA office is run by women who spend more time gossiping about the CEO's outfits than they do actually doing their jobs. You won't get inspiration or team-building from them. They just don't care about the company. As a result, the young people are forced out for caring and, thereby, posing a threat. it's kind of shocking what goes on there, really. If you're young, it will kill your spirit to work there. Don't do it.

Pros

Some nice people, good benefits

Cons

Just went through a round of layoffs and as typical, the bloated layer of fat cats at the top protected themselves and their favorites, and laid off a lot of good lower level people. Disappointingly, my overall department is mostly women, yet department senior leadership is mostly white men. For all its talk of DEI, there are some glaring gender disparity issues in certain groups.

Pros

A lot of lovely creative people who work hard and collaborate

Cons

Verbal abuse and time abuse ran rampant when I was there, I hope it changed.
