Pros

Honestly, the only pros are that when you leave work you typically don't take work home with you.

Cons

Poor management, rarely internal promotion, zero benefits, no industry perks, slave runner mentality! This place is awful. It truly perpetuates all negative stereotypes of African Americans not only through it's content but also through their interactions with their employees. No one is qualified, and therefore you do learn - learn how to do things the wrong way unless you're smart. Then you learn what not to do. This company exhibits zero morals or values nor does anyone hold any type of accountability for it being that way. Rather than create solutions to the endless problems they point fingers toward the junior staff and berate them.

Pros

There are no pros to working for "Black Entertainment Televion", honestly... It's almost a disgrace. Would never recommend to anyone. Not what it use to be.

Cons

Being paid in a timely manner after productions, more family members and friends than people who can actually do the work. The people who don't pay for flights or rooms are the same people that get their lunch expensed and the interns and PA's pay for EVERYTHING - flight, rooms, lunch.. And are never offered to be treated to lunch unless your family member or friend has pull and they will sneak and order for you.
