Pros

You work with really talented people. Some of the old-timers had been there 50 years. That made it a great place to learn ethics and groom yourself for a distant future. The equipment is the newest in the field. Great place to learn media technology and to get hands on experience,

Cons

Getting your foot in the door is very difficult unless you already know someone. They keep the younger people working freelance- with no benefits, insurance, or permanence. Then after a year, they can fire you with no reason. They usually tell people that they've maxed out their freelance hours.
