Pros

Pros: - As many have said, Current has been through a lot of changes over the years. And although that brings its fair share of cons, it also brings a lot of pros. It means you have a larger cross section of experiences. I've seen the company go from UGC, to daily news, to long form tv entertainment on various subject to news commentary. In all of those experiences, I've met a lot of interesting people and learned a lot of skills for a lot of varied situations. - The people who work here are second to none. They're talented, sure, but they're warm, approachable and extremely funny people that I love spending time with. - I've had good luck moving up the proverbial ladder at the company, and my contributions have not gone unnoticed. - With so much going on at all times, there's never a dull day. - The new news and commentary direction with Keith Olbermann will finally put Current TV on the map and give Current the direction it needs and deserves.

Cons

Cons: - Although I mentioned the pros, there are also cons to constant changes. It brings about confusion and frustration when you're unclear on if the work you're doing will accomplish anything. It also brings about fear when you're unsure on what the future brings because the company has gone through a lot of restructuring in response to the constant changes. But I'm thinking with Keith Olbermann on the air, this will be the last time the company goes through any significant changes. - With so many layoffs that have happened over the years, much of the head count has never been replaced leaving whoever is left over to pick up the slack. This definitely causes tension and long work hours for many.
