      Pros

      30 Rock - the building and the show. Beautiful setting, romantic notions that creativity is taking place.

      Cons

      But in reality, they have too many senior managers that love to stifle, play political games, and not allow their to employees grow.

      Pros

      Universal is a large company - with ability to transfer to many different departments and there are many different jobs avaiable, ability to advance is really up to you as you can choose to become a trainer, then a lead and so on and so forth,the friendly coworkers and variety of different personalities are refreshing and it's easy to meet someone you get along with, the nice benefits and discounts to several different places outside of Universal are a nice perk as well as having Fairwinds on site and there are many resources for just about anything you can think of.

      Cons

      The cons are that some of the management frankly isn't qualified or screened well, some of them are very immature and thus act immaturely and make very poor decisions. The HR department is a nightmare a lot of the time. No one seems to know what they are doing in the offices and you will end up walking the span of the park before you are even directed to the correct building. You are reprimanded for every small thing that you do wrong (even not smiling -- strange, i know) but this depends on the management as they all vary.

      NBC Universal: Big company with little care.

      Pros

      There are so many opportunities to work and learn beyond your department. There's always room to shift between cable networks, since NBC Universal owns a handful of them. They're all very reputable and very entertaining. Personally, I prefer entertainment over informational programming, so this is the place to be. Although rewards are few and in between, despite having a great performance quarter, I still love it here. In exchange for little reward, there is also little pressure and stress while working. But the need to succeed is still there, there is a great balance for the work ethic the company is searching for.

      Cons

      NBC Universal is like the parent that never paid enough attention to their children. So if the child got a billion straight A's, there's barely a pat on the back. So the main downside is the lack of reward and support from management when a job is done well. That downside obviously stems from the fact that NBC Universal is a very large company where everyone can get lost in the giant sea of employees. The lack of attention that the big wigs give to their employees is not so pleasant, but then again that might drive people to do a better job and to outshine.
