Pros

Chill environment to work in. A great place for networking! You will meet people who will remember you and call you for more work. I worked in production and met some great people who then brought me on to other shows. Great place to start your career because you can learn as you go. Many opportunities for promotion and growth.

Cons

The pay isn't that great. Don't let them take advantage of you...MTV is notorious for this. It takes forever to have things approved, so be prepared to wait for things to get done.

Pros

Lots of creativity and there are health benefits and greater stability than independent production companies.

Cons

Most employees are freelancers, and the work can be unsteady. They also know that people want to work there and the pay isn't always super comeptitive.

Pros

The company is really young and they are very open to new ideas.

Cons

There's not a lot of room for advancement, you really have to leave the company and then come back in order to move up the ranks which is somewhat frustrating. If you're young, you're not going to get a staff position and you end up being stuck as a permalancer and that sucks because just because you're young it doesn't mean that you don't want health insurance and a retirement plan. Sometimes things are pretty disorganized as well and that's a bit frustrating too
