Pros

Probably one of the last companies in NYC where you actually get to see the light of day after work. The hours are 9-5:30, and staying late is rare unless absolutely necessary. Lots of face time with upper level management who tend to be very approachable and friendly. A close-knit, comfortable environment and overall fun atmosphere. People generally get along well which lends to a positive workplace.

Cons

Not much room for advancement or opportunity for growth. The day-to-day doesn't vary too greatly so it is easy to feel robotic after a while. No contact with the larger CBS group hinders growth opportunities as well. Out of date systems can make ordinarily easy tasks a bit more of an unnecessarily frustrating process.

Pros

Unforgettable memories getting to do cool things I'll tell my kids about someday. From going to the Oscars to interviewing various celebrities, there were certainly things about this job that were a blast. And the lower level employees—from camera ops to production coordinators to editors and directors—are some of the most fun, down to earth people I've ever worked with. We were just working hard and sticking it out together.

Cons

Financial pressures from up top mean that this company works non-union personnel into the ground. 100 hour weeks weren't uncommon. I worked often from 5:30am until late into the night, plus weekends and holidays, and was attached to my phone 24/7 the little time I didn't spend at work. This kept up until the pace quite literally made me sick and disabled from working, then I never heard from many in upper management who had pretend to be my "friends" ever again.
