20TH CENTURY FOX Employer Reviews

High paced environment. More work then there is people to do it. I have learned quiet a bit about how international business, systems and how to work with people from many different countries. Management is typically supporting. Hardest part of the job is various level of complexity involved with doing business overseas (e.g., regulations, statutory – more... reporting vs. US GAAP reporting, etc). The most enjoyable aspect of the job is working with a lot of smart people from a lot of different countries. – less

Fun fast-paced environment producing the local news. Lots of innovative thinking and new young professionals willing to work long hard hours.

There was never a similar day. Daily duties were determined by sporting event. Mostly dealt with live coverage. Awesome job!

20th Century Fox was the best company I ever worked for. I think this was because I worked with the greatest people in their home entertainment computer division.

a typical day at work was i would have to build pallets with boxes and containers of film. after doing so i would then need to scan all the film for quality assurance so it could be sent to be stored in the vaults. Twice a day i would drive around the lot and either pick up or drop off various pieces of film or video that was needed by other departments. – more... The hardest part was the physical demand on a regular basis the boxes and containers would easily weigh 50+ lbs, also in the vaults that we used. it didn't make it any easier climbing a 10 foot ladder and trying to pull a box that heavy off a shelf. the most enjoyable part of the job was the supervision. if i ever had a problem i would go ask my boss or if he had anything important to tell me he would come find me but other then that i knew what needed to get done and my bosses left me alone to do so. – less

15 hr days for first 8 months then 8-5p after that.
Learned patience and how to deal with all personality types.
Hardest part of the job was dealing with management.
The most enjoyable part, all the fun stuff a TV station employee gets to do (including meeting celeb's)

Great way to start a career in media is to work for one of the giants.

12 hour shifts, but the pay was good. Its a production company and there were a lot of egos at play. They only cared about one thing and that was to make money. Company doesnt view you as an asset. No social life if you work in movie production.

I was either working all the time or not working at all which made it difficult. If there was more work, I could have sustained.

War fighting operations overseas with no less than 6 months of preparation time before deployment

Excellent unit cohesiveness regardless of class, race, religion, or pre-service background. (Gender not included due to all MALE unit)

On a positive note, the business users of the department were very nice and would make time to have discusssions related to work. This was only the case if they weren't being pounced on by management on meeting a deadline. The company is quite antiquated in there technologies which results in alot of manual processes. And staff work extremely long hours. – more... What I found interesting is this company doesn't want to compensate you for the work that you do.

A typical day consisted of being constantly micromanaged by the project manager and working long hours. I wouldn't recommend this company for anyone whose intelligent and is an independent thinker. There is no room for growth and I would definately not recommend a minority working here. If you have blond hair and blue eyes and look like a model you are sure to succeed. – less

Delivered increased sales for both local and regional accounts in a demanding work environment, under deadline and pressure conditions. Professionally committed to my clients to meet or exceed their expectations while proactively meeting senior management sales objectives and company goals. Prepared contracts and reports for clients and potential customers – more... to drive sales and increase revenue for both the client and the station. – less

FOX 35 is a fast pace work enivronment. I've learned that fox 35 is a people first New station covering the entire Central Florida. Management was great as long you completed your task on time.My Co-workers was excellent they helped when i first started working. There was nothing really diffcult about the job. The most enjoyable part was meeting diffrent – more... people ,while out in the field reporting. – less

Developed new local direct advertisers, as well as, maintained regional and current advertisers with Fox 17 WXMI TV.

My dept with the division - cheap, poor management, don't appreciate employees, execs egos running amok.

It was pretty awesome getting to work for a radio station for that little bit.
