Pros

Mtv was so cool. We got to wear whatever classyish casual outift we wanted to. Every few weeks we would be excused from our duties for an hour to listen to a band. Celebrities were constantly dropping by for meetings. And you're working for a cool, hip, young network that actually can influence a generation.

Cons

For me the worst part was the Los Angeles Traffic- hello, 2 hour commute. But other than that as an intern you must obviously do all of the less than desired work load such as moving / packing boxes, organizing and mail duties--but none the less i loved the job

Fun work, but hard work.

Pros

The variety of programming on-air and online exposes employees to fun projects and interesting people. It attracts a high caliber of creative people, which helps to raise everyone's game.

Cons

There are a lot of missed opportunities for cooperation and coordination and efficiency among sister MTV brands/networks. It often results in the brands working against each other. Also small budgets tend to squeeze employees and burn people out.

Pros

Big company, opens doors, resources theoretically available. Everyone knows where you're calling from and will take the time to visit and pitch.

Cons

Stifling environment rife with ethical dilemmas and quandries. It's a place loaded with unrealized potential. The HR people are a nightmare.
