Pros

Excellent and affordable benefit package, free cable, phone and internet service. Promotes from within

Cons

Mediocre salary, hourly employees accrue sick and vacation time at a very slow rate, while salary employees seem to come and go as they please with unlimited paid time off

Pros

Opportunity for local businesses to get on TV. Can be done affordably. When executed properly it was a tremendous value.

Cons

Contraction in the audience size and a general lack of respect and even a genuine distaste from their customers makes it a challenge.

Pros

Outdoor work is great in nice weather. Low supervision. Company vehicle. Work is varied. Opportunities for extra pay through upselling cable products is easy. Good starting salary.

Cons

Hard to move into different roles unless other people leave roles or quit. Some jobs require being in dangerous areas alone. Can feel very much like manual labor at times. You often work alone so getting help can be difficult when needed. Dispatch team is more concerned with getting jobs off their list, this leads to you be loaded down with more work than you can handle often forcing you to work late a lot. Mandatory overtime in the form of being "on call" every couple of weeks.
