GOOD PLACE BUT NEEDS TO GIVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW

Financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place, good benefits. Cool to be around media people and TV stars.

Cons

Needs to develop a better way of helping its good, long term, hard working employees to a career grow path. They need to help out real talent and not just "who you know" employees. Also, pay needs to be better for such a big Media Company.

After 30 years your still just a number

Engineering technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, ok pay, some room for advancement, wonderful people to work with in the trenches.

Cons

The company has turned into huge corporate abyss. You are just a number to the company. A cog in the wheel. The heart and soul of the company is gone, anyone who was worth anything has moved on. They do not value experience, knowledge and talent.
