Pros

A lot of new opportunities and great people to work for, who come from various companies in the industry, both Hispanic and General Market. Great pay and benefits. A lot of opportunities to grow, given the companies own over 12 networks and is continuously growing, they just announced they are investing in "El Rey" network and they also have Fusion joint venture with ABC. I enjoyed my time at Univision and was promoted twice in 3 years. If you work hard, your efforts are recognized here.

Cons

Company going public in 2014, a lot of internal changes and restructuring at the moment

It's a nightmare

Pros

My colleagues were talented, kind, supportive, hardworking people. Since management was so awful everyone ended up uniting more to support each other. Big name company, experience looks good on your resume. Salary was relatively decent, but only because they knew they couldn't keep people with less due to the incredibly stressful nature of the job.

Cons

Complete disregard for employees. Management is incompetent, abusive, and uses intimidation techniques to make sure people keep their heads down. Employees are constantly being blamed for management's shortcomings. Morale is extremely low, most of the people I worked with hated their jobs. Very prominent "macho" culture, women are often discriminated against and ridiculed in staff meetings. HR does nothing because it's there to fire employees, not help them. Management is also under a lot of pressure from their superiors who also do not give them much direction or support. The recurrent layoffs makes everyone live in a constant state of fear and amplifies management's ability to manipulate employees. Nothing you do is ever enough, are pushed to work extremely long hours with no additional pay. Complete lack of structure, leadership and vision in the company. Recognition and positive feedback are non-existent. In the area where I worked, there's little ability to grow within the company, even when there's talent, unless you know somebody who knows somebody. Their way of doing business, their shows and their products are completely antiquated. Only reason Univision is #1 in some local markets is because Telemundo isn't putting up a proper fight. If Univision continues down this path they will disappear very soon. Worst job I've EVER had. I'll never work there again, it's a place for masochists. I am not including my city in this post because I obviously want to remain anonymous.
