Pros
You’ll get a paycheck. That’s… pretty much it. Basic benefits are technically offered, though they’re the lowest-tier options available and likely unaffordable given the subpar compensation.
Cons
This company thrives on an exploitative structure. The executive team? A collection of wildly inexperienced individuals who somehow failed upward into their roles. They know they’re in over their heads and that they’ll likely never hold a position like this again, so they cling to it for dear life, at the expense of everyone else. As a non-executive employee, you will be set up to fail from day one. Expect lots of fluffy talk about "support" and "teamwork" with absolutely no follow-through. Don’t count on being trained; leadership doesn’t know how to train because they don’t understand the basics of running a functional business. Accountability? Nonexistent. Decisions? Avoided at all costs. Support? Never appropriately staffed. You will absorb the fallout for their indecision and incompetence. Entry-level employees are underpaid, overworked, and discarded once burned out. Interns are exploited for free labor, and in return, you might get a Walmart cake pop and a pushy request to rate the company highly on a workplace survey—so they can keep pretending they’re one of Knoxville’s “Best Places to Work.” If you’re passionate about working in TV or media, please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This is not the place to grow, learn, or be respected.
