Pros

Work for a TV station, sometimes meet cool people, and free food if a restaurant comes on the news

Cons

Heavy pressure for new business in a small market selling Ad space to local businesses with small budgets. Tough for repeat business because most campaigns don't drive enough leads/ROI.

Pros

Can make as much money as you need.

Cons

Given too many products to sell and not enough time to build new business. Management overwhelms the staff and is disconnected from what is a realistic goal. They also micromanage and email leads on days off instead of waiting for the work week.

Pros

Great managerial support network. They really do want you to succeed. The commercial production team is very easy to work with. You work almost entirely independently.

Cons

Micro-managed depending on your manager. You are told "your in business for yourself" but they still expect you to be there at 8am sharp and back in the office at 5pm sharp. Broadcast television is a dying industry and they do not seem to realize that or just simply ignore this fact.
