Benefits at a cost - Anonymous employee Middle East Broadcasting Networks Employee Review

It's a dead end job! They removed the opportunity to train for other technical positions, so why take the job in the first place? They purposely do not want to promote from within becuase promotion means raise and raise means more money they will have to be spent. They do not pay the going rate in this Metro area, but they tout their benefits up and down the street. They once told people that there's plenty of Overtime to be had to make up for lower wages. Now that too is gone! Though they are good benefits, they however, keep chipping away at them every year and one day they won't be any better than anyone else. Employee retension is completely foreign to management, they consider everyone to be disposable, even though it takes months to find new hires; and then they have to pass a lenghtly security check, which has scared very talented people away. No company can ever be perfect, but they don't want or care to fix their own problems. As long as the BBG and Congress don't find out the real truth about how this place opperates and the misspending of money, MBN will last a good long time. But nothing last forever and it would be a real shame to muddy up the message this place is trying to convey to the middle east becuase of poor spending and bad management.
