Pros
• Making connections with a lot of nice people, many have been in the TV business for decades • Opportunities to shadow other positions if you express interest enough • Pretty cool work environment • Good management within the broadcasting department that genuinely cares about you • Fun times on the studio floor make for bonding experience among coworkers
Cons
• Too high-pressure and critical of an environment – some act like we’re saving lives when we’re doing nothing of the sort • Terrible pay for the work we do • 10-hour shifts anywhere from 5am-3am any day of the week • Not a lot of positional movement recently • Exhausting hours and extreme manual labor leading to no work-life balance • Expectation for studio floor staff to be at on-air talent’s beck and call • Some coworkers can be judgy/cliquey • This job shouldn’t require a college degree base on the real day-to-day work, glorified warehouse job
