Great culture, but mediocre mid-to-upper level management and ever-changing leadership is a bummer.

Pros

Decent salary, good perks, terrible hours and workload. Overall the great atmosphere and relationships with similar-level employees was worthwhile.

Cons

Lack of training, leadership plays favorites, offers no guidance and tends to expect immediate results and answers when requested, often thrown under the bus, little opportunity to advance within department and very little interaction with other departments in the same Network, very clique-ish at times.

Pros

Lots of change, which presents opportunities in different parts of the company. Everyone will have a different experience depending on which part of the company you work in. The division to work in = cable, the worst = theme parks.

Cons

Salaries can be a bit on the low side
