Pros

A cool industry where customers create the media that is consumed by the general public. Get to work with some brilliant and talented people. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

Middle management staff is still mostly the same and have not changed how they do things. They are poor leaders, have no vision and spin their wheels when it comes to decision-making. The "thought leaders" below them are not enabled to influence decision making and there is little opportunity to move up. Year after year there has been layoffs. All this combined has created low morale and lack of incentive for individuals to be great.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
