Pros

good benefits comcast discount generally fun people

Cons

If you are in digital you will have a drastically different experience than in TV. The company treats digital folks like second class citizens. They are making a series of strategic investments, but seems to have no strategy as to how to manage the day to day implementation. Additionally they keep trying to expand these partnerships while we actually need re-investment in our core businesses. Once you are at the sales planner level there is quite literally no room for advancement and you're totally stuck. The people there are sweet, but generally stuck in their ways and unwilling to learn or uninterested. Benefits are good for 401K and health. Vacation days are terrible and we cannot work from home.
