PBS Employer Reviews

A lot of gossip that is hurtful from other employee's. Not a fun place to work.

I didn't actually work at the company, per se. I worked at the client's home.

One main goal, that the mother wanted was that her child not play video games so much. Before my arrival, according to the mother, he didn't want to read, or be read to, play outdoor or indoor games, or even go outside, at all. This was very difficult for her, she was not – more... even able to do errands, because the child didn't want to leave the computer. Regular tantruming, both mild and severe, were the norm, if she tried to remove the computer.

A typical day, would be for me to get the child involved in other activities, and him being happy to do so. The hardest part, was having him want to be involved if he hadn't gotten a good night's sleep, because he found the computer his mother had hidden and played on it in the middle of the night. The most enjoyable part, was seeing him happy. – less

I am the fundraising lead in the room so I process time sheets, checks, and deal with all employees/customer relations.

I started this position as a tele marketer and worked my way up to a management position, so I have grown with the station.

The most enjoyable part of my job is gaining the trust of my coworkers by proving myself through my work – more... ethic. – less

My tenure with PBS has been educational. I've learned a lot about the company and the environment of broadcast.

Lionsgate TV, an affiliated PBS network would come to PA quite frequently to shoot their TV series "History Detectives". They would call me every time they came to the PA area and hire me as a production assistant due to my work background and knowledge of the areas. It was a great series of experiences to obtain at a young professional age.

Provided all IT support to PBS HQ staff; managed IT staff in diverse areas of IT from networking to satellite communications and real-time programming. Hardest part of the job included the long hours and continuous need to be on call for 24x7 IT suppport, networking, email and television transmission systems. Most enjoyable were the staff, management, – more... feel of contrbuting to the public educational of the nation, and interesting work in so many different areas like high definition television, captioning for the blind, satellite transmission, prediction of sun outages on network feeds, etc. – less

did random tasks to help out the office, fun to see the inner workings of PBS, everyone was very nice and appreciative, very nice experience

I really enjoyed working for PBS. Everyone was very friendly, and the work environment was fun, colorful and there was ALWAYS some gathering or get together that involved food. I learned the basic tasks/responsibilities of an Administrative Assistant and my supervisors were really nice for the most part.

-Cash handeling
-Assisting customers
-Organizing
-Covering breaks

There is no question that the salaries are low at PBS, but whatever you don't make in cash, you definitely gain in flexibility for schedules and last minute family obligations. I have always said that PBS is as cool of a place that you would imagine it to be (even if you don't get to work with Elmo and Big Bird, as my nephew thought). To that end, it – more... is an excellent first job for students right out of college, where they can learn the structure and responsibilities of the workplace in a nurturing environment, without the competitiveness of the 'for-profit' arena.

On a daily basis, the work is important and engaging (specific to department), and your co-workers are hard working and smart (with only a few exceptions). The vibe of the organization is warm and family-oriented, and even the people that drive you crazy are well-intentioned, good people.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the camaraderie that is fostered when gatherings take place in the communal kitchens over lunch and the most amazing conversations ensue! Similarly, at organizational meetings or conferences, when highlight reels of projects are shown, it is a wonderful feeling to remember that you are working at a place that is so committed to quality programming for everyone across the country. – less

Best News Around...still focuses on actual news not infotainment. Love being surrounded by smart people interested in doing real news. That said, money and lack of resources could be a problem.

I like my jobs but it has a lot of flaws but this is something I can deal with, but I love being around people that's what keeps me going is my work environment.

Setting up the Donnybrook set, taking live calls, working sound boards

Very hard work , learned a lot though. Good place to get your feet wet.

I was so scared of my boss maybe I had so much respect fo him because I would end up doing the wrong things he have asked me to do but I have overcomed on that particular stage and became the brave young lady who don't let anybody to sacre me.

I have earned a lot from the company I worked for everything I know it''s all because of them.

Well the management – more... was in great I mean they wouldn't just tak any decision without communicating with the other staff.

When I had to my job just because the company couldn't have more more money to pay my salary

The most enjoybale part of the job is that I met alot different people and I learnt a lot from them. – less

Ik begin mijn dag met de algemene email te controleren, zorg dat de spamm gefilterd wordt, dat de onbezorgde mail wordt verwerkt en dat mogelijke andere emails bij de juiste collega's terecht komen. Daarna ga ik de kandidaten die afgewezen worden een brief sturen van afwijzing en ervoor zorgen dat zij duidelijk vindbaar in de database worden verwerkt.

Ik – more... heb hier geleerd om een groot evenement te organiseren en wat er allemaal geregeld moet worden. We zitten met een klein groepje wat het team hecht maakt. Het moeilijkste is voor mij communicatie in het Engels, voornamelijk omdat ik bang ben om uit gelachen te worden.
Het leukste van mijn baan is de brieven schrijven, agenda bijhouden en het organiseren van lunches etc. – less
