Full of vibrant, hardworking people, but an essentially rudderless organization. Good 1st job, but get out fast. - Broadcast Associate CUNY-TV Employee Review

Pros

As stated above, CUNY TV is staffed by vibrant, talented, hardworking people. Public sector budgeting means extensive capital outlays, so if you're in a technical field expect to at some point fool around with some real state of the art equipment. Staff is highly international, World Cup is a blast.

Cons

The higher up the chain you go, the more you run into the hard facts of working in the public sector. Any essential policy changes involve board approvals and any outside vendors you might work with are lowest bidders. Promotions and expansions of responsibility occur but actual compensation remains static throughout most employees careers. There is no program for employee development, despite certifications being at the heart of technical employees' career prospects.

Pros

--Diverse workplace with incredibly kind and talented colleagues --Good benefits (health insurance, pension) --Unionized (under DC37) --Chill Management (as long as you meet deliverables, no one will bother you) --Relative creative freedom (as long as it aligns with CUNY's image and follows FCC guidelines)

Cons

--Stagnancy (lack of promotions, industry workshops, and innovative ways to stay relevant in the media landscape--which are crucial to surviving the job market long-term) --Lack of strong career networks (most people that come here, stay here for 10+ years) and positive workplace morale overall --Disorganized management/lack of creative direction (ie. work getting approved and then scrapped, producers being shuffled from show to show) --Low Pay --Too comfortable/lack of continuous learning
