      Ad Sales: An Employee Experience

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Good people, truly. -Good vacation time. -401k match, & decent benefits.

      Cons

      - Extremely low morale due to high volume of layoffs among many other issues. No motivation, feels as though no one in the office cares. Break down of communication at seemingly all levels. -No clear leader or presence of one. -Almost no 'perks'. Don't expect much more than barely palatable coffee in the kitchen. -Very low pay to lower positions, among lowest in the industry. No room for negotiation. - Speaking from a Sales Assistant/Sales Planner perspective – everyone is at the very least looking for another job, it’s no secret. This can even be said for many of the senior positions. People actively speak openly about other opportunities in the office, with many leaving at lunch for interviews day in and out. -Discovery has failed to foster a sense of pride, growth or motivation. Our CEO recently addressed ad sales and mentioned us atop the best companies and people in the industry - citing, NBC, CBS, FOX. If this is so, why don’t we as employees feel like we are? This all comes down to the employee experience – how we feel about the degree to which Discovery cares about us, our development and everything in between. DSC is failing on all of these levels. -Completely out of touch CEO. Boasts about 'hanging' with Roger Goodell just days after a multitude of layoffs. DSC board announces his vast compensation package and extension thru 2023 (including a 22MM dollar yearly bonus) a DAY after layoffs.

      Us VS. Them Type Culture

      Pros

      Background: Discovery Communications purchased Scripps Networks Interactive in March 2018. Since the merger, new teams have been created with leadership from both sides of the organization but primarily led by Discovery Communications employees. Once the "new" company was created, a new set of "guiding principles" were created toting "#ONETEAM" as the uniting force between both organizations. "We are #oneteam working together toward a common goal. We work "collaboratively" with one another always," are some of the statements that are regularly toted by leadership.

      Cons

      #OneTeam is a lie. Former members of the Discovery Communications team are regularly chosen for leadership positions, given promotions and pay increases. Scripps Networks Interactive employees are seen as the ugly step children who are expected to keep their head down, execute and be thankful they still have a job. New employees have a little more say but “this is how we’ve always done it” and “well, at Discovery Communications this is how we do it,” will always persist. New employees were “chosen” by the Discovery Gods so are treated better than the talentless Scripps employees. It will always be “US” vs. “THEM” mentality until a larger company purchases them (give it 2-4 years, hey Disney or Google!)

      The Worst

      Pros

      Creative people who start off at the company motivated

      Cons

      (At Discovery Digital Networks/Seeker) High employee turnover. HR allows men who show a consistent pattern of harassing/bullying women to remain in their positions until the women either can't take it anymore and leave or are fired. Pay not industry standard.
