Huge company, room for internal growth

Pros

If you want to jump between companies and departments within MTV Networks, HR will help you with the transition. Because MTVN is a huge company, you'll have opportunity for growth in a lot of different places. Benefits (health, dental, vision, insurance, time off) are great.

Cons

Huge, faceless corporation whose only real agenda is to make money off ad sales and hold onto the dying empire that is TV entertainment. Focus on digital expansion is growing, but not even close to where it should be considering how much of the TV audience is moving into that space. There are too many rules and political motives that determine who gets a raise and when. Pay is generally on the low end of the spectrum. Raises are infrequent and hard to get approval for. Promotions are only given if a position is open, and never doled out based solely on talent. Even if you fight for a raise or threaten to leave, there are too many loopholes and approvals to go through for your manager to do anything about it.

Pros

Great atmosphere right in the middle of Times Square, large company with a heart that takes care of their employees.

Cons

College Credit was the only payment, the internship was an excellent view into the corporate life. However there was no monetary gain.
