Advice to Senior Management

Unfortunately, the Lifetime management team is pretty much gone since the merger with A&E Television Networks.

Pros

Great opportunity to get exposed to how the back office of a media company operates... great employee comraderie, very welcoming atmosphere

Cons

unpaid internship policy makes it a bit less appealing, although we did receive a small stipend at the end of the semester

Advice to Senior Management

paying your interns would encourage them to work harder and be more accountable for what they do, was a great internship and this would only add to it

Pros

lots of opportunity to build experience since there is so much work given to each employee

Cons

unreasonable and unstrategic senior management

Advice to Senior Management

focus more on retaining top talent and minimize turn over

Pros

Lifetime Networks can be a positive atmosphere. People seem to like working together and have a sense of humor about the programming. The staff coordinates small office parties in an attempt to keep things interesting. The work gets done pretty efficiently.

Cons

Definite lack of feedback. I never received feedback about my job performance, even when I asked. My manager didn't really know what I was doing from day to day. There were definite cliques that seemed encouraged by those in management. Overall boring workload with few challenges.

Advice to Senior Management

Communicate! There were way too many guessing games about their vision or goals.
