Great place to work if you don't mind low pay.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work at NBC is the people. You meet some amazing contractors, but there are very few full time staff.

Cons

Little potential for growth. Small benefits package. I feel that the amount of work in this department far outweighs the resources that NBC is throwing at it.
