Pros

-The people there are all come from the same industry (TV consumer electronics, Media, Advertising, Cable) so the knowledge in this particular area is very strong -Runs like a startup - you need to be really creative so it develops these skills quickly -They are located in a very nice city -Some nice people (about 30% of the company) work there.

Cons

-Salaries are VERY LOW for the work/hours you put in (take the standard salary for your position and -25%, yes MINUS 25%! That's what you'll get paid. -Terrible career development - you'll only get promoted when your boss leaves or retires (so you'll be waiting for years and years) -Long hours are a constant, you'll work 12 hours a day all year round -People who work there have no knowledge/experience outside of the Media, TV consumer electronics, cable, and marketing industries and they don't care about implementing best practices from other successful companies and industries -Nearly everyone there is pretentious and arrogant (about 70% of the company)

Pros

People are friendly and easy to work with. Most people are team players. Work life balance does exist for some roles.

Cons

Management is easily threatened by people who ask questions or make suggestions for improvement. Gate keeping info, people, and development opportunities is common. Due to Vizio/Walmart promotion policies, there is no upward mobility. Senior Management has told employees if they want to move up, they need to go elsewhere. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who have limited experience running the place and it shows on both a business decision and leadership level.
