Business Outlook

Pros

Professional equipment, no junk. Comfortable working conditions. Great security. Payment on time, at the Network level. Management tends to leave you alone, so long as you don't screw up.

Cons

Competition within The Building was tough. Fee payments not as fast at the Local Channel 4 level. AFTRA allowed a No-Strike clause, so we could not honor NABET's picket lines.
