The pay is awesome!!! They pay based on experience and it is really a good place to work!!! Also the people are really friendly!!

The call center manager was not as knowledgeable as he should have been about the companies policies. He was a good person but he really didn't have the answers.

Be more aware of the company. The systems that is used is crazy. You should really do something different as far as that goes.

Good enviroment to work in

Cons

Advice to Senior Management

good job

Pros

Show staff was incredibly helpful to interns looking to get into television media, relied on interns more heavily than most, and enabled interns to move between shows/departments to get the best perspective of NBC as a whole. Interns also interacted with high-profile guests (politicians, authors, etc.)

Cons

Longer hours than most other internships, but this was offset by the quality of work and experience. Occasionally experienced extended downtime.

Advice to Senior Management

Widen the NBC news/ MSNBC divide between hard news and opinion show marketing. Provide interns a clearer pathway to full-time employment.

Pros

great place, nice people, very friendly. you can wear jeans to work. my manager are very flexible and understanding, although he is demanding sometimes.

Cons

lots of work; work overtime without pay. sometimes i have to work over the weekend. difficult to commute to the building; no parking spot provided. there're not many good restaurants around. packing food to work is not my style.

Advice to Senior Management

they're great.

Pros

Salaries are competitve to good, when you're hired full-time; company too often hires freelancers on a day-rate to save money. There is a certain prestige still associated with the network, but more to outsiders than those within the buildings.

Cons

capricious management, little options for growth. In recent years, the company has lost sight of its news focus and, in panic, rushed to make seriously damaging decisions in its newsrooms. I dream of the days when there was mutual respect between management and staff. It is virtually impossible to find now. Employees are terminated without cause, on a whim, without notice, making the level of anxiety and paranoia very high. The atmosphere is tense and often confrontational.

Advice to Senior Management

Respect employees, value their contributions, realize that long term employees have much to offer the company
