Pros

Resume builder. You'll work with great people that offer support & learning opportunities (does not include management/leadership team) but Account Executives and day-to-day teams are committed to your success because it also helps them to succeed. Will gain experience and expertise in the media field.

Cons

There is zero opportunity for growth. NBCU is a good stepping stone but you will never be rewarded for your efforts. The more value/expertise you provide, the more work and responsibility you'll be given, all without the possibility of a raise, promotion or bonus. NBCU does NOT give raises or bonuses. You only have the opportunity for a promotion if someone resigns...and even then, they will make you jump through hoops. Do not be fooled by the promise of a 'merit increase'. It is a max of 2%/year which doesn't even meet the inflation rate YoY. A churn and burn environment. Leadership does not care about employees or retaining good talent. Compensation is well below industry average and again, there is no opportunity for development. Also, does not match offers from other companies - take it or leave it.

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
