Pros

Great opportunity to work hard and make a lot of money.

Cons

The way the management team conducts business is very unprofessional. Hard work and dedication goes unnoticed and never is there a time that you feel secure in your position with the company. Account executives are often put in tricky situations to make sure station budgets are met. This is a high stress company that would benefit from learning how to work smarter and more efficiently.

Pros

Great managerial support network. They really do want you to succeed. The commercial production team is very easy to work with. You work almost entirely independently.

Cons

Micro-managed depending on your manager. You are told "your in business for yourself" but they still expect you to be there at 8am sharp and back in the office at 5pm sharp. Broadcast television is a dying industry and they do not seem to realize that or just simply ignore this fact.
