Pros

Company has a good reputation. Company given lots of money to filmmakers and producers. Mission-driven goals, not based on TV ratings not on popularity.

Cons

Bad senior management. Operations and finance is incompetent. Senior management is invisible and paranoid, worried about the bottom line even though funding is guaranteed through Congress. Upper management works as a secret "cabal' keeping others uninformed and in the dark. Cannot criticize company or will be punished. Co. does not retain mid-level or junior employees, non-senior staff has low salaries.

Pros

I very much enjoyed working here. Passionate, considerate, and SMART people. I learned a lot and that was key. At ITVS you’re here to gain experience, or be part of a mission, or do what you love… but not really to make money.

Cons

ITVS is admittedly tight on budget (which they can’t really help, they go through fed funding something like every 3 years). But those who can and do stay are its biggest cheerleaders. But it’s probably hard to gain and retain new talent with a limited budget.
