Pros

good benefits, nice perks at times

Cons

Lack of knowledge of outside world especially local television stations. Creative people are constantly work in long hours and on last min deadline because management failed to notify earlier until it's really close to the deadline. Overall lack of depth in high end graphics and the time frame for 3D rendering and compositing. Management will get convinced to promote a "copywriter" to "creative director" who can't even insert an image in Microsoft Word, let along any other programs like Adobes. If you know how to sell yourself, you can fool any management to get better title, which kinda sux for those who really deserve it. And HR only helps management to get away trouble so the whole "no retaliation policy" is just bull****.

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.
