Pros

This is an awesome place to work. All coworkers are great. I really like the environment. It's really a place you will dream to work for. The building is brand new and has great studios for production and post production.

Cons

It seems that you don't have much opportunity to be part of the company. The internship is just a program, but you don't have any promises of get a position at the end of it. Everybody seems to like me as a professional and as a person, but not to give me an opportunity after they saw how great my work was. I had the opportunity to work with many employees that were working in there for years, and when opens for management came, the opportunity wasn't given to them. People from out the company will take those positions.

Pros

Stellar tech side. Thoroughly dedicated and able studio ops and adjacent departments made sure that each show was speedy, stable and brought to air without apparent cracks or glitches. More than an expected feat in GCs case because:

Cons

the newsroom was a fraternal fiasco non-stop, wall-to-wall. Predictably, favoritism was a problem but only a side-effect of this department's spastic parade of failure. Old guard made the final year of pandemic broadcast much more difficult than it needed to be due to nagging facile attempts to reseat themselves on-site as Roastmasters of the Control Room. Before then, it was the typical local drama but cranked up to 11: stories of marital infidelity, hostile ostracization and cronyism were the norm in the House That Molly Built. All this speaks to the incredible efforts the production side made in making this clown house look way better than it deserved, and to the fallibility of an organization that would bring the problem element up to Olympics and leave the stable element behind. Tread lightly.
