Pros

You get to work for one of the top broadcasters in the world with access to Disney discounts.

Cons

The pay is low for the amount of work you're doing. There's very little discussion amongst departments. Some positions are eliminated without consulting for fallout. The company is very bottom-line focused, so your work can go underappreciated.
