Pros

An amazing way to learn about the business of television from the inside out. You really have to surrender yourself and to the Program for a year, but (if you want to work in television) it's worth it.

Cons

The only way to make a livable wage is to plan on working 60+ hours a week so you can get overtime (time and a half).
