Pros
SOME of the people are nice. LA campus is beautiful. Big company so a lot of opportunities to move around if you play your cards right.
Cons
Year One: I had an issue with my white counterparts constantly touching my hair even when I told them not to. When I told my boss (white as well), she said, "oh, they just like it, don't take it personally." When I tried to explain to that same boss that this was a form of racial microaggression, she cut me off mid-sentence to say it wasn't racist and dismissed the conversation. I, also, experienced wage discrimination. They updated my pay but were mad at us for discussing our pay. Year Two: If your supervisor does not like you, then you're screwed. My manager did not like me, and it was evident. She began giving away my projects to other coordinators even though I was working on them. I was planning on an event for a project we were working on, and she took my ideas and gave it to the other coordinator to organize. This was experience I needed to move forward in my career, so it was a slap in the face to have her do that. When I confronted her about it, she said, "oh, you looked busy, so I gave it to her." Yes! I was busy working on the project that I give you updates on every week. When were you going to tell me??? Also, I applied for an internal role and a recruiter broke confidentiality so she could gossip about me to other recruiters who had nothing to do with the role. You're not supposed to talk about internal HR candidates to other HR employees because you never know whose applying. She got promoted the year afterward. Year Three: Year three was the worse, so I'm not going to go into detail. In short, I got a promotion and the worst pay raise I have ever seen. I was sold a job and told I would be busy just to sit at my desk for hours with nothing to do. I am a fast worker so every time they sent me assignments to "keep busy" I'd finished it quickly. Nothing I did contributed to my growth professionally. I would create work for myself and it still was not enough. I honestly wasted my time for that entire year. To make things better, my new team villainized me for having a disability and continuously used micro-aggressions towards me. Overall: NBC is not as great as they make it seem. If you're Black, don't work here. They pay low and do not value you. You will see a white person with less experience and accomplishments surpass you all because of their race. Their benefits suck for the pay they're giving you. They are not as a diverse as they make it seem. If it was not for them acquiring Telemundo, I do not think they would have a lot of POC's at the company.
