Pros

good healthcare benefits (they’re making me do a 5 word minimum. this is all i can muster)

Cons

-terrible hours (nights/weekends) -far below living wage when senior staff makes six figures (executive producer makes $415,000/yr) -consistently and severely understaffed due to high turnover -blatant disregard for the employees who do the behind the scenes work that is necessary to keep shows running
