Pros

Good opportunities for advancement, good benefits, reputable company. NBC implements many of GE's systems when it comes to the way they run things, so you know it's going to be as professional as it gets. If you're looking to work in media while working for a reputable, corporate-minded company, NBC is it.

Cons

The only downside for me was that the internship was unpaid. It was very difficult to live in LA and devote so much time to something that I wasn't getting paid for.

Pros

The name still carries cache and can open opportunities with other media companies. NBC Universal is still a major player in the media industry and provides significant learnings opportunities to individuals who are new to media. GE training programs are top notch and widely respected. The Crotonville campus is model that other corporations should strive to match. Hours are significantly better than other industries in NYC. Late nights and weekends are rare and an emphasis is placed on work/life balance.

Cons

Limited career opportunities with a preference for promoting from the outside rather than from within. Slow moving company that's resists the changing environment that it's confronted with. Salaries are considerably less than other employers in NYC.

Pros

Its a way into the television business. Being in a big market, there is a lot of pressure on everyone's part to do a good job because a lot of people are going to see what you do. When it as all said and done and you do a good job, you feel really good about yourself.

Cons

You can get lost in the shuffle. If you are not one of the big wigs, you seem to go unnoticed.
