Pros

Maybe a good stepping stone?

Cons

Quick to fire but slow to praise. Freeze on hire and on raise. Costly consultants retained when friends of leader. Data ignored by manic creator. Walk on eggshells, all who enter, this is a hobby (not a business) where the inexperienced are tasked to mentor. Want to love what you do and have a seat at the table? Run away from this broken boat, as fast as you are able.

Pros

The people I worked with were the best part of the job

Cons

The restructuring served only the needs of the new CEO. Tons of people were furloughed for no reason other than "he didn't like Austin"

Pros

They give you a computer, so if you NEED a job, there are worse places to use for an internet connection while cruising Indeed for your next gig.

Cons

Fractured management. No budget. Hemorrhaging employees. Everything is done backward. Rock bottom morale across all teams. No project management. Terrible benefits across all levels. Uninspiring and weak leadership DT. Crazy controlling and abusive top creatives. No communication and political tactics modeled after Bond villains. Total inexperience and incompetence driving key decisions and strategy. Bad deals abound within and without. Would be surprised if the company survives the next twelve months. Would be surprised if leadership lasts another six months. Ask yourself before considering a job here "Why does this channel still exist?" and accept that the company is designed to permit a small group to take advantage of Univision while doing the bare minimum to service the small number of cable viewers sticking around to watch the channel circle the drain.
