Pros

With several network brands under one umbrella there is a lot of opportunity to move around. Great benefits. Pressure to perform is not wrapped up in an overly-intense and chaotic environment.

Cons

Pay is on the lower end of the spectrum. With most large corporations, politics and playing the game are more important than quality of content.

Pros

I was lucky to make some amazing connections and life long friends while working at NBC Universal. There's a pretty decent work life balance. Everyone works hard and can take part in the perks; theme parks, benefits, movie screenings & sports tickets.

Cons

Though the company is growing as a whole, my department was stagnant and everyone seemed complacent. Everyone has to "pay their dues" but when you're due the company might not be ready for you, delaying your ability to grow. You'll need to use connections to learn what is available at other networks. Overall, a traditional corporate environment. Entry Level positions are payed low. Low raises.

Pros

The Diversity and Inclusion events are very informative. They provide useful tools on how to cope and be successful in our work environment. I LOVE our parks and frequent them during my lunch breaks. This is a great stress reliever and helps to regain full focus.

Cons

There is no Personal Development Plan (PDP) in place for ALL employees, selective PDP's are offered according to preference. You are railroaded into quitting your job due to extreme stress and discouragement as you're submitted to severe Psychological Warfare. There exist clicks and favorite "BFF'S" within the department whom flaunt their alliance as they shamelessly create unnecessary conflict for whomever the current target is. The office culture leaves little room for anyone who's different when it pertains to religious beliefs, costumes and race. African Americans, Indian's, Latinos, etc are a very few. Some of the "Leader's" need a refreshers course on what responsibilities come with said Leadership while recognizing that Diversity and Inclusion is not an option, it's a necessity for great success! When a Boss does not support/like their subordinate due to interpersonal causes, it's impossible to move into another department due to the direct negative feedback given to the prospective new departments leadership. That's not only unfair, it's unethical.
