Business Outlook

Pros

People from top to bottom are exceptionally friendly. There was never anyone within the company that I felt I could not get in contact with and the senior management that I worked directly under was willing to give me the opportunities to prove myself very early on in my employment. Their major training initiative is also a great opportunity to meet a large number of people throughout the company early on.

Cons

Like many companies in the media industry starting salaries are very low, especially for a city like New York.
