Advice to Senior Management

I do not have any feedback to the board of management of ABC news. It is their business, not mine

Pros

Technical training courses are provided.

Cons

Easy to get stuck in the same position, incredibly hard to move up.

Pros

The reach and power of the brand opens a lot of doors.

Cons

ABC News remains a cult of personality where sycophants are often rewarded more than hard/smart workers. While many at the bottom and two or three at the top understand the industry challenges and can soberly suggest courses of action, the vast majority of senior/middle management mouths industry buzzwords, repeats what they hear without understanding, and hopes like heck to hold onto their jobs until that pension hits 100%.

Advice to Senior Management

Really take a look at your middle/upper management. Are they there because they're great order takers, or because they can help you to be smarter? Which do you want?

Pros

Good name recognition for resume. One of the only network news companies to pay interns.

Cons

Some upper management have ego's.

Pros

Great opportunity to be part of important stories!

Cons

Big place to conquer. Smaller eiser to move up.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep admitting fresh talents

News environment exciting and great work experience

Cons

Scheduling, disney company does not value news division, incompetent managers promoted as favor paybacks

Advice to Senior Management

Demand more from upper mangers

Pros

opportunities to learn technical and editorial skills; job training

Cons

shortstaffed and lower salaries; bad work/life balance

Pros

Such an average environment and atmosphere but not the stellar as expected as that can be for an exceptional business office environment.

Cons

Thus as we explore the disadvantage of this place it is more so than other places of similar occupation and work.

Advice to Senior Management

Improve the way you manage people and provide higher salaries and respect such that people can have more opportunities and leverage.

Pros

The anchors are really nice. It's cool to say that you work at ABC but that does not last long.

Cons

no advancements, no money, no one cares about you. You do everything, however you are never never shown any respect by the managers.

Advice to Senior Management

give more respect to the News Assistants because they do everything. Try to allow the assistants to see inside opportunities so the advancements are not so slow.
