Pros

-Disney discounts -Reasonably set work schedules set far in advance -Good benefits -Christmas bonuses (for now) -The cafeteria has a late night cook for the graveyard shift

Cons

-Management are only extensions of HR -No help from managers or supervisors as most are not technically competent. They are strictly people managers. -Starting base pay extremely low with very slow pay raises. -Downsize company every two years or so which makes long term prospects unlikely. Downsize due to exorbitant exclusive broadcast rights costs -Network Control is a black hole. Positive ratings for this company are from 9-5 desk jobs and studio/video production folk
