Starz Entertainment – “Most other employees like working at Starz more than I did”

Pros

If you like movies, if you like an ever-changing work environment, Starz is a better-than-average place to work. There are a lot of creative people, and many opportunities to use your creativity. I enjoyed the people and working for the company very much, but, in the end, the skills and experience I took put me at the top of my potential on day one, which left no room for my personal growth.

Cons

It is a big company that tries to act like a small company. It is the third-place company of three premium networks, and the nearly-invisible partner of Netflix and Verizon, and, at one time, RealNetworks. Have you heard of Starz Play? Probably not. Have you heard of Vongo? Doesn't matter, it doesn't exist anymore.

Advice to Senior Management

Pick a direction, and stick with it. The company changes focus, direction, and logos every two years. How about building some core strengths to go after your primary competition? By reinventing the company so often, consumers have no recognition of the latest Starz branding, which means nobody will ever ask to add Starz service unless it is accidentally included in a package.
