Great Environment But It Can Be A Grind

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The people who work there are for the most part very nice. Management cares about you. If you show you have the skills, it is a steady gig (that's more for freelancers). The work environment as a whole is very welcoming. Salary is good and benefits are great.

Cons

It is a 24 hr news network, even with other documentary and special programming, so long and weird hours do occur. You can be easily pegged for a show/schedule that is rough for work/life balance, and it might take a while for management to be able to change that.
