Pros

NOT ONE. NEVER APLY AT THIS COMPANY.

Cons

This place is ALL smoke and mirrors. They make sure and not pay you as much as they can by robbing deals from commission checks. They promise great earnings and don't deliver. They can't even have the once a month floor wide sales meeting on time. It is always at least 2 months behind schedule. The benefits are a joke. HR department is ran by a bunch of high school that have no clue what they are doing.

Pros

The people are really nice to work with, very down to earth.

Cons

Poor Management in the Production Department, weird but rude guy. The work is heavy but fair, wages are not worth anything to brag about in this industry. Not recommended. There are better News Stations to work for in Vegas I got lucky with prayer, patience, and job searching.
