      Improved but still a long way to go

      Pros

      The current employees at NBC.com are good hardworking people, you won't find much of a culture there but there isn't much office politics either, which I guess is good. Current management is an improvement compared to the last regime before Comcast which was a disaster. Salaries are average as well as benefits, an excellent 401K. If you make it thru the work week, they serve up FREE bagels on Friday with a splendid selection of cream cheeses.

      Cons

      • Promotions are only in upper management. • 2% raises with no bonuses for the little guy EVER! • Product development is all outsourced so put away your portfolio cause your not going to have anything to show your next employer. • Thousands of dollars wasted on vendors that over charge and under perform. • Zero culture with a revolving door. • Management under values current employee talent and does not communicate well. • Micro managing at it's worst during any crisis. • Upper NBC Universal management has zero understanding of the importance of consumer engagement with products and has an old school advertising mentality of just delivering a message thru cheap graphics and one liners.

      Hard work, long hours; totally worth it!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The talent level is elite, the resources are infinite, and the attitude is as Type-A as you can get. This combination of traits creates a team atmosphere that allows each of us to individually strive. The benefits are what you would expect of a company of this size, while the perks are actually much more uncommon, as there are constant opportunities unique to only the TV, film, and content provider industries.

      Cons

      As previously mentioned, the hours are a bear. We can be a bit understaffed at times, mostly due to turnover amongst the younger employees. This can cause an overwhelming workload for many of us, especially during peak times.

      It's a decent gig

      Pros

      Being an Accounting Clerk is a relatively easy job (in comparison with other more involved accounting positions). However, it is very mundane. It involves a lot of filing, sorting, copying, logging. You may also be required to get lunch for your department. There is a lot of opportunity for growth (if you stick with the same group of people from show to show) and most people are willing to show you how to work with the accounting software (most companies use EP Vista--not to be confused with the Microsoft OS). You get a pretty decent weekly rate, and, after logging in a certain number of hours at your position, you get health benefits! You get free lunch (at the expense of having no official lunch break). If you're considering a job that's a step up from the Production Assistant position and considering a career in Accounting, then this is a good entry-level spot for you.

      Cons

      Being an Accounting Clerk is usually on a contract/term basis. You can be employed as a clerk with the parent company of the movie for whom you are working, or you can just work with the studio from show to show. As a result, your job status is relatively unstable. The hours are long. Depending on who your head accountant is, you can work from 50+ to 60+ a week. As a result, your weekly rate that seems awesome in comparison with the 40+ a week work is pretty average when you break it down to actual hours worked. As mentioned above, you get no real lunch break because your meal is bought for you by the production. Also, once you stop working in Accounting, your health benefits stop after your qualifying period. It's a long and tedious job. You will be a lot busier than a Production Assistant (though you will be making only slightly more). You may start to wonder how other people got their jobs because you'll discover how much other departments make and realize that they're less than competent...
