      Too many indians and not enough chiefs

      Pros

      Close to my home. Looks good on a resume. Lots of training for work you will never get to do until you leave the place.

      Cons

      The outsourced everything and more everyday. It takes 5 days just to get a password reset on the mainframe. Used to take 5 mins. No one to ask questions about the data to as they have let go of people that had the data knowledge.

      Pros

      Eventually those private equity firms will put it all on the market and things can only get better.

      Cons

      No value for employees. Long hours, tons of outsourcing, constant change in direction and management. No job security. They do not follow their own "code of conduct." Outdated technology.

      Pros

      Biggest player in industry, brand carries with clients and a lock on TV ratings does not hurt

      Cons

      The senior management team seems to want nothing to do with the employees, and I can't say I have ever seen the people like the CEO or CFO in the NY headquarters office more than a handful of times over numverous years. Products are a complete mess with half started projects that fall by the wayside for whatever is new and the leadership of business groups seem at odds with one another when not managing to their bonus target. Hyper political.
