      Fun Company, Had to grow up though and get a "real" job

      Pros

      Definitely the environment is friendly and helpful. Definitely have a work life balance which is great. Get to be involved in a lot of cool stuff and it is pretty innovating in regards to marketing as well as systems, etc.

      Cons

      It is really known that MTV does not pay their people that well. I would have to agree with that as when I left the company, I got a 25% increase in pay. Also very disorganized and a lot of the times, we are just running around trying to solve the issue and not actively trying to figure out how to prevent an issue.

      Cool for kids, headache for professionals

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place to start a career or get back into the workforce. The workplace is not very demanding at all and provides a comfortable 9-5 for those just looking to get by.

      Cons

      The salaries are pretty low, however, it does match the demand. If you are middle management, you must share an office. You must hope that you are placed with a professional that actually works. Playing music and watching, TV, or movies is accepted - even when they are played at the max. If you need to speak over the phone, you must learn to yell at your co-workers - employees use explicit s to get there point across.

      As workplaces go, surprisingly entrepreneurial but solid leadership and vision are non-existent

      Pros

      It can be dynamic, creative and highly entrepreneurial, and even exciting at times. Ultimately, it's a very meritocratic environment -- good ideas go far and creative bubbles up from the lower rungs. For kids starting out fresh from college, it's a boot camp that stays with you for the rest of your career and you will learn tremendously. Some of the creative execs are among the best in the business, and as corporate environments go, the diversity is a welcome alternative to the white Ivy grads inundating other companies.

      Cons

      The same spirit of entrepreneurialism has its inherent drawbacks: senior leadership is MIA, report structures are a complete mystery, internal resources are squandered on conflicting priorities, direction changes all too constantly, there's very very little communication, and executive accountability to the troops is unheard of. Senior execs institute staff purges while maintaining sick expense accounts. Helicopters to JFK are not unheard of and yet the $100 a day assistant has got to go.
