Pros

Sr Management willing to spend money when the ideas fit their view of the world.

Cons

Current Comcast management expects obedience without independent thought. NBC at least attempted to look to the future when owned by GE while Comcast is relying on its monopoly power to generate income.

Business Outlook

Pros

The environment is generally good, and there are some great people to work with. Lots to learn and being able to build connections with outside vendors and producers has been great.

Cons

a lot of data tracking for everyone, spreading work out to people that should be focusing on their main job. Too much time spent on the organization as a whole, rather than servicing the clientele. The lack of pay is also disturbing for the middle to lower management, along with the worker bees like myself. The upper management is top heavy and there is a disconnect with the employees. The upper management seems to rely too heavily on what is happening on paper, rather than stepping outside of their office and submerging themselves into the business to really understand how the system works. This forms a disconnect with the staff and the process. Many roadblocks are placed by management to make your job more difficult. Not enough upper management owning their mistakes, rather the employees suffer.
