When it was GE owned company, there were a lot of learning & development opportunties. Also, everyone else that was manager and below were working just as hard as you were- so you had a good team around you.

Cons

Lack of salary, opportunties of advancement were given to external GE employees and not to internal NBC employees, extremely high volume of work and lack of support
