Watch Your Back and Always Be Ready to be Laid Off

Producer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Discovery can and does attract some bright and capable people who find the idea of "working in television" appealing. But, that enthusiasm can quickly tamped down once the realities of working at Discovery are apparent - like the cronyism, office politics and yes man attitude that needs to be displayed for career advancement.

Cons

Constant fear of layoffs and downsizing which all can happen very capriciously and without a lot of warning. This is really unhealthy for productivity. And while the company touts great benefits like teleworking and flex time, they are completely at the whim of your supervisor and aren't necessarily work-life benefits you'll ever actually get to use. And the constant office political maneuvering gets tiring and means very little actual tangible work can get done.

If you like being beaten into submission and lied to, this is the place for you!

Pros

Pay (pre-recession), benefits, on-site health clinic, location, Lifeworks, child care center, people in the trenches doing the real work.

Cons

Incompetent management, deception, complacency with the status quo, lack of inspiration, half-baked products. Television shows have fallen prey to the ratings gods, which are shamelessly pumped out heavily in favor of style over substance. And to think, this was once a highly-respected brand. The company itself falls short of having the right idea as a holistic entity. It fails to deliver when it comes down to brass tax. Seemingly sound ideas based on caring for employees and green-initiatives paint the corporate portrait well in PR releases, but the reality is much different when it comes down to the true value of the worker, where tenure means next to nothing. A lot of hemming and hawing, but no real decisive leadership at the helm. Course correction happens with each bend of the economic wind, rather than sticking to a sensible plan and testing it over the long haul, giving it a chance to succeed.

Pros

Great work environment, excellent employee morale, good high quality product compare to other media companies, great health care benefits, flexible work schedule. Like any other corporation, if you position yourself well, you can have great career opportunities.

Cons

Too many changes that don't make sense, sometimes they hired, and keep, inept upper management, used to be very secretive now is getting better but not ideal.
