Fun and entertaining
Actor (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: met great actors
Cons: early starting days that lasted all day, and the commiute
I would usually get a call from my agent a few days ahead of the job and location, When I would go I would meet with the other actors and get to know about them, have breakfast, we would go to wardrobe and off to the set , the directors would tell us were they would want us and what they wanted us to do , we would do that for several takes and different – more...  camera angles, and for many hours. We would go to luch in the afternoon for about and hour and come back and continue to a new scene. At the end they would take pictures so they can see exactly what we looked like so the next time they call us we would look the same. My co-workers and manegment were great, The hardest part was the commute early in the morning, and the most enjoyable part was the scenery and meeting fun and great actors. – less

Senior Storage Engineer/Architect (Former Employee), Studio City, CA –
Pros: great people
Cons: extremely fast paced environment
NBC has plenty of resources from DBAs, system engineers, network engineers, project managers and storage administrators. The trick to the job was finding the right resources for the project.

Several times, I was tapped on the should for a project and the project seemed very straight forward. By the time we were done, we could end up with a national – more...  team of 30-40 people.

Getting assigned to a level 3 root cause analysis team was very rewarding. It gave me the opportunity to see how the company really runs. – less

Company, the Hallmark channel, unfortunately fell apart.
Promo Producer (Former Employee), Englewood, CO –
Pros: lots of possibilities, good people to work with.
Cons: no ideas for a creative company, it went nowhere.
The Hallmark Channel startes with great hopes but little in the way of fresh ideas. Upper management seem to be constantly over its head. Eventually the company fell apart, the domestic channels were taken to L.A. and the rest sold off to Sparrowhawk then to NBC/Universal. It was a huge pity that upper manager was never accountable about never taking – more...  the company from the red. – less

The job required frequent travel with top management. We got to explore new places and really get to know the people we worked for.
Exhibitor Relations Manager (Former Employee), New York City –
Pros: travel, benefits, movie premieres, meeting people
Cons: long hours, longer meetings, credit grabbing, some hollywood attitudes
What I loved about working at Universal was every day was different. On a typical day, I could be in the office making deals for movie trailer placements or arranging merchandizing. Or I could be out all day, meeting with theatre managers and checking advertising. My co-workers were always helpful and wonderful people. My competitors too. Upper management – more...  were always there for us. Tough honest people, but always on our side. Deadlines were brutal and someone always came up with an impossible task we always somehow made possible. My favorite job was viewing the movies, writing reviews and coming up with advertising ideas. It was a really fun 20 years. – less

I am glad to hear you really enjoyed working at NBC. I've been trying to acquire a position with the company for sometime now, but my efforts haven't be fruitful. Any feedback on what I should do to at least get an interview? Anything you can render will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
