Pros

Opportunities to pursue interesting technologies/ideas Great benefits Very interesting work with the capacity to specialise in any particular area that interests you Always more to learn, you should never get bored

Cons

Work day is 9 hours and isn't terribly convenient for me, so I don't get to spend as much time at home as I'd like. Weekend Work/On Call Rotation, but you find this everywhere and On Call isn't so bad. Long list of responsibilities for better or worse

Pros

-pay is OK (50-80K), not great but better than some places -benefits are good, Cigna is just OK not great -bonus of about 5% yearly -restricted stock awards, if you can hang in there for at least 3 yrs

Cons

-no chance for advancement, the department is minuscule. -the control room is basically a closet, approx 100 square feet for 4-8 people to operate -the place is a fire hazard with outlet strips plugged into outlet strips plugged into more outlet strips -the heat does not work when the outside temps fall into the teens and below(see pictures) -they pile so much work on you that the chance for mistakes in a complex environment is very high. -mistakes are not tolerated and you will be terminated -intimidation/threats from management to be terminated (rule by fear) -mgmt aren't broadcasting pros and don't understand the limitations/capabilities of a broadcast studio -"make it happen or we will find someone who can" -nepotism -higher paid employees can be singled out for termination as an excuse to save money
