Pros

if you want to work in the media, it's a good place to add on your resume

Cons

The pay is an absolute joke. The benefits are barely acceptable and if you're not a man, you will be fighting and clawing your way up to be taken professionally. I had many meetings where I was the only female present (among 10+ executive INCLUDING the President) and comments, remarks and jokes were made that were crude, rude and sometimes offensive. The hours are awful (9-6 MINIMUM), they don't encourage anyone to work from home, executives like to point out WHO they are ("do you know who I am?" was a question I heard a lot), and as I said, the PAY IS AWFUL. I was there 10 mths and quit - one of the worst experiences in my life - and I've worked in media and tv and music for years previous to that. The turnover rate is extremely high and everyone I know who used to work there (I kept in touch with over 12) have all quit - no one lasted two years. No room to move up Internal promotions happened ALL the time to VPs and above....I never saw ONE person who was a manager, coordinator or assistant get promoted.
