MTVN has a lot of potential but needs to act quickly to compete in the new digital age

Pros

Great brands and great people to work with. mtv, comedy, nickelodeon are all the best of breed and will be successful for years to come. most employees are thoughtful, creative and motivated which makes the work environment inspirational most of the time. the location is terrible and times square is the worst place to work, walk, breathe, etc. on the planet. the general environment is laid back and you can wear almost anything you want at any time

Cons

Lots of politics and lack of vision from senior management. people are very petty . the office space is terrible on most of the floors

Pros

MTV Networks has a very fun atmosphere. The people are all nice and generally very young. They are all very supportive and look out for one another when it comes to finding other jobs and helping one another out. The Lodge in 1515 Broadway has great food for cheap prices. Its convenient working in times square since it is only a 10 minute walk from Penn Station for commuters and right by a whole bunch of subways for NY residents. The views from the windows are great. You get an hour off for lunch every day. I recommend it a lot.

Cons

Sometimes they have too little for everyone to do and there is a lot of downtime. It would be good if they helped out entry level workers a bit more.
