Call Center Reps are wonderful!

I worked at TVG full-time for more than a year
Pros
Friendly staff, snacks, and upbeat atmosphere.
Cons
People get heated quickly. Training could also be a bit longer for the call center, as is the employees are kinda thrown to the wolves.

Pros
Dynamic and lets developers find solutions for operational needs. Not task driven but goal driven. You are allowed to fail as long as you keep improving processes.
Cons
It is still transforming after merging with FanDuel. The culture is divided based on the two products TVG has: the website and television. One feels like a startup the other is a legacy entertainment content creator (e.g. TV content). If you work on the software side, which I do, your experience will be very different from the TV side.
Advice to Management
At this point, stay the course. We are growing our market share in a shrinking industry. We will eventually fully merge with FanDuel to create new products in a changing landscape.

Pros
Most upper management is supportive of individual employees and trust their work. Benefits are very good.
Cons
Following layoffs, reorganizations, and pay cuts early in 2017, the work environment became toxic enough that I left.
TVG2018-09-12"Highly recommended"

Fast paced, fun environment. Smart driven people.
Cons
Business will eventually scale and grow 10x or more, but dependent on betting regulation.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at TVG full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
dynamic and great people at the ground level; love the work and horseracing and the online business; salaries are decent but lower level employees seem ignored a lot for competitive pay.
Cons
horrible senior mgmt and leadership; cronyism; if there is an issue dont expect sr leadership to support mgmt to resolve amicably; layoffs every year since Ive been with the company; certain producers and directors bust their butt and get no recognition (bonus, increased pay or similar); perfect environment for union action. CEO refuses to trust his mgmt to know their area or expertise and does not support continued development of knowl; allows consultants to run the co and run amuck creating hostile environments this would be who the CEO trusts instead. DUMB!
Show MoreAdvice to Management
have a mission; live by a mission & change the culture to one of positive recognition of those who work hard, know their expertise, and not just those who tell you what you want to hear or just do as you say; appreciate and act on feedback of the actual workers for a more just culture. Stop laying off for a change to save money and actually produce a good product matched with a good brand.

Pros
Some nice people exist here.
Cons
High turnover rate, lots of office politics, poor management, CEO doesn't know what's going on in departments.
Advice to Management
CEO needs to know what's happening under the car's hood, not just see the outside of the car.
