      TV-First Company Stuck in the Pre-Info Age

      Pros

      Work-life balance of team is great, time-off/remote requests granted easily, executives are accessible to meet with

      Cons

      Too much structure -- gives off a non-trusting view to bottom-line employees, management can get very territorial. No cultural/personality/people-interaction training when starting. Highly recommend adopting a signature culture like other companies (i.e. personality tests of rookies, transparent feedback, etc.). Younger generation seems to be leaving quicker.

      It used to be a good place to work. It's gotten too corporate now.

      Pros

      Pride our brand and in a good on-air product. State of the art technologies and always looking to push the envelope.

      Cons

      Too many e-mails, meetings and corporate paperwork. Managers treat employees like just a number. Management needs more training. Work-life balance needs to be a priority again. Company more concerned about costs and less concerned about quality. Too much paperwork and meetings for yearly reviews.

      Run away. It is a toxic, morale killer. It is not a place for professionals.

      Pros

      It was a great place to work for years. That has changed. They finally got smart enough to give 3 weeks of vacation so you can actually use your Disney passes.

      Cons

      Management is changing direction like a monkey swinging from a tree. Directors and above have a sweet thing going. They are very busy selfishly maneuvering and networking up without a care for the direction of their staff or the company.
