NBCUniversal reviews

1. Very low pay 2. Boring work working with horribly rude sales people 3. Aggressive, over-bearing manager who stunted my career progression by literally taking work from me. She frequently praised my work so it was like she didn't want me to outperform her. 4. Unequal distribution of work on my team. I was the only black person on my team and consistently got assigned less work than my teammates despite performing better than them, having more technical skills and constantly asking for more work 5. White people got away with murder and there was a double-standard in what was expected if you're a POC. White Coworker got violently drunk at a party and a VP laughed about it with her the next day. A white director frequently snapped at my colleagues and wrote rude emails and it was brushed off. One time i didn't sound chipper enough when speaking to my manager and she took me to HR. 6. When I called out all of the biases I observed, the HR exec and the management on my team literally pushed me out. HR emailed me every week asking about my last date and the managers literally stopped acknowledging my existence purposefully going out of their way to ignore me. I wish I had a stronger case or I would've sued them. 7. They treat internal candidates horribly. Before all of the drama, I applied for several internal roles and they don't even have the courtesy to send rejection notes after you interview.

The YOH contract is a scam that makes entry-level roles a revolving door. They will tell you it will get your foot in the door, but good luck turning that into a full-time staff job. As a researcher, you will write, produce and shoot segments for a third of what producers make, and be told you have to settle for your breadcrumb salary for 5 years before you will be considered for promotion (even though you're doing the exact same job). Please tell me how a multi-billion dollar company expects people to live on $16 per hour in New York? I survived the atrocity that was Megyn Kelly TODAY and I can say HR did absolutely nothing to help people get off of that team or bring in new leadership. We were overworked and bullied by senior producers. We had multiple meetings where our host and our EP told us that if we didn't like the way were treated we could leave and if we talked to the press that made us traitors. After the show was cancelled there no change in the internal leadership that allowed that toxic environment to fester, even though many team members complained. I'm so grateful I got out for the sake of my mental health. There is a something deeply wrong with the company's human resources department. If you are offered a role at this network, beware. Say no to YOH, and unless you are fresh out of school do NOT settle for the researcher scam. If you're looking to grow within the news division, promotions are mostly based on nepotism so you'd be better off get a producing title elsewhere to get the salary you deserve. Make sure you vet your potential bosses and teammates because it will be nearly impossible to switch teams once you are hired.
