      Pros

      Great place to work. Pay is relatively nice for an intern and the staff is very welcoming towards interns. Do well as a College Associate as it says a lot about you and may lead to further opportunities within Fox News, not to mention further down your journey.

      Cons

      Most hours are 9-5. Some interns may have odd hours, such as 4 am to noon due to different show times.

      Advice to Management

      Keep on doing great things!

      I worked at FOX News full-time

      Pros

      It's a job and they're always hiring

      Cons

      Poor Management. Constantly would bring up issues to management and it would never be taken care of. Constantly asked about moving and growth within the company/division and was given the run around. Toxic workplace if you are a minority in any way. You are never rewarded for your hard work. Recognition is given randomly and same goes with opportunities. This place will make you want to change careers if you don't get out soon enough.

      Advice to Management

      Fix everything. Tear down the poor system you have and start over. Recognize people when their work positively impacts the product, not just because they don't "annoy" you. Control the rampant discrimination in the division at the company. Be better.

      Toxic culture, no work life balance

      Pros

      Some great people work there, competitive salaries and very good benefits.

      Cons

      Virtually no resources or technology and understaffing is a major concern.

      Advice to Management

      Invest in people, partnerships and technologies. Embrace innovation.

    5. "Great, if you're Right"

      I worked at FOX News full-time

      Pros

      There are some very talented people to work with.

      Cons

      As long as you don't mind producing a product that is totally motivated by the politics of the company's executives, you're fine.

      I worked at FOX News full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Job security and good benefits.

      Cons

      Harsh work environment, hard to take off days, management overworks employees.

      Advice to Management

      Stop grinding your employees into the ground. It's unacceptable how long you work positions higher than your salary without being compensated.

      Pros

      The people you work with are all really nice for the most part. Managers are understanding and accommodating to the best of their abilities

      Cons

      The facilities are old and don't look great. Some of the technology is over 10 years old, and the less client facing floors look beat up. The kitchens don't even have coffee machines in them. The bias is also worse than it has been recently

      Advice to Management

      Invest more in keeping up with advancing technology and little perks for employees to help them through the long days. And make an effort to have more realistic and unbiased programming

      Pros

      Good benefits
      Good vacation allowance
      Flexible Schedule

      Cons

      No where to climb for creative art oriented positions. If you are a Graphic Designer or a daily Graphics Artist, don't spend more that two years of your career here. Unless your interested in crossing into a more managerial corporate position. Lots of repetitive template updating, very few creative assignments. And when they do give you something to design you have to find the time in between your daily graphics work quota. After a while this becomes uninspiring.

      Pros

      Job Stability, Pay, reliable merit-based raises.

      Cons

      Middle Management is abusive. Not a place to learn.
      HR enables abusive managers

      Advice to Management

      It can take 2 years for a skilled employee to full get up to speed. If they leave because of the toxic environment, your productivity takes a real hit.
