      Pros

      Its a very creative and receptive environment. The people their are usually fantastic to work with, and very interested in getting the work done and having fun as well. Depending on where you work the work load varies slightly but it is always daunting and a fairly fast paced and intense place to work. I love it there.

      Cons

      But, do I think I deserve to get paid more? Absolutely. The management their doesn't get paid very well either I don't think so at least your all in it together. Expect to work late into the evening alot and also expect to have everyone pulling on you at once.

      MTV- Can be a great place to work if you have a strong pair of scissors for cutting through mountains of red tape

      Pros

      There are some very good and intelligent people working at the network, and it's a joy to be around them when you can avoid b*tching and moaning about the company all day. The work environment is relatively relaxed. Free soda all day long. There are some good employee-related events that take place and allow you opportunities to build relationships with other people at the company's sister networks.

      Cons

      There is a lot of interdepartmental confusion amongst members of senior level management. For a media company, there are too many levels of approvals and overall red tape that need to be handled before anything gets done, which can lead to an employee feeling almost worthless. The pay is not great, and benefits for a permalancer are practically non-existent. If they do exist, getting an answer out of anyone is a chore. In general, it feels like there is an overall lack of effective communication amongst all parties working at the network. Nobody is on the same page.

      MTV - nice to look at from the outside, but a different story from within.

      Pros

      the company name, which does impress others, there are some really nice people that I work with, the fact that the company touches upon so many aspects of media and content that there is much to learn here.

      Cons

      Incompetence of some senior mgmt, slow pace of progress on internal systems that would help manage the business, lots of office politics, the near invisibility of the Human Resources Dept...does anyone know who their HR rep is?
