Pros

Access to compelling projects at The History Channel, great people at the lower level of production, great area to work.

Cons

The A&E Channel itself is run by essentially a high school girl's clique. Nasty and brutish...lurching from demo to demo without a clear idea of how to succeed

Pros

I like working in the cable TV business and A&E has some strong potential in History (if they can ever decide what it's supposed to be) and A&E channel. The people are nice and the company is very family friendly.

Cons

Apathy for new ideas and new thinking runs rampant throughout the company. There is a huge amount of dead wood in the place. If you want to be a follower and retire at the same job after 20 years, then send over your resume. Upper management seems devoid of team spirit and the ability to get the most out of those that are supposed to be pitching in. Very disorganized between departments and severe lack of communication. Too many women. Try leveling things out with a male hire once in awhile.
