AMC Networks Reviews

Pros

Wonderful people all around Great compensation and benefits Work-Life Balance

Cons

Nothing really that i can think of.

Pros

Nice people. People want to help each other be the best they can be.

Cons

Inconsistent direction. A lack of company priorities. Too insular, head in the sand. Does not know how to fail, learn from failures, make better decisions. No one is honest about the real problems and issues.

Pros

Content is interesting, free coffee

Cons

Senior management is clueless as the improvements they add simply give more work. Compensation vs hours is on the low end. Passive aggressive personalities make things difficult to work through. Honest feedback is lacking and goalpost is moved in terms of expectations.

Pros

Brand awareness is high; almost everyone loves Breaking Bad or Mad Men. Sometimes the campaigns are fun to work on. No yelling culture whatsoever. Sarah Barnett and Josh Sapan are very approachable and nice, which has had a very meaningful impression on me. Work/life balance is respected.

Cons

Complete lack of strategy or modern approaches. Very old-school and scared of experimentation. One size fits all mentality; what worked 10 years ago isn't going to work now. No real raises (only the BS 2% cost-of-living raise) and no growth plans to speak of. Processes are never consistent and upper management skills vary from person to person.

Pros

Getting to say you work at AMC... I guess?

Cons

**This is for the Ad Sales department - others are great** Some of the worst people I've ever met are in the ad sales department. I've never been a part of a worse culture.

Pros

Work is easy enough, and you should be able to finish by 5.

Cons

Weird culture of trying to stay late even if you don’t have any work to do. Work isn’t evenly distributed and there are zero job perks. They will tell you they are taking you to the MSG box and out to client events or lunches, but that’s only for management.
