Hard work, long hours; totally worth it!

Finance manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The talent level is elite, the resources are infinite, and the attitude is as Type-A as you can get. This combination of traits creates a team atmosphere that allows each of us to individually strive. The benefits are what you would expect of a company of this size, while the perks are actually much more uncommon, as there are constant opportunities unique to only the TV, film, and content provider industries.

Cons

As previously mentioned, the hours are a bear. We can be a bit understaffed at times, mostly due to turnover amongst the younger employees. This can cause an overwhelming workload for many of us, especially during peak times.

Pros

Worked in a fast paced and dynamic environment with a lot of great people, including: the show's production staff; writers; bookers; hair and makeup; and the hosts. Equally exciting was getting to meet newsmakers and celebrities everyday at work.

Cons

Waking up at 3:30am to be in the office by 4am, but you get used to it so it really wasn't that bad.
