    Chargen Operator
    Sep 2024
    Quezon City Metro Manila3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Working in GMA has trained me to become a great working professional. But given the circumstances of my employment, (contractual and slow career progression) I have decided to look elsewhere for greener pastures.
    The good thingsThe working environment is nice, especially during the height of the pandemic. Our office/working area was always disinfected and cleaned for our safety.
    The challengesWork-life balance is non-existent (depending on your employment type.) During my time, I had no sick and vacation leave for the entire year because I had no reliever.

    Good career launch pad but traumatic working experience. Never commit mistake or heads will roll. The honchos prioritize promotion of VP levels, which is contrary to one of their corporate values: We value our People as our best assets. Clearly, that's not how you treat hardworking and dedicated non-VP people.
    The good thingsA good jump start for any aspiring communications practitioner. The experience will hone your skills and abilities. The company provided tools to equip
    The challengesTop 1: Management. Make no mistake and you're sure as hell you'll get the unreasonable ire of the one above. Top 2: Takes years to build a career but slow to minimal progression. Only VP levels get the quickest promotion.

    Good place to be trained but not for growth.
    The good thingsLeave credits, bonuses, CBA.
    The challengesNo career growth. Management is jurassic holding on to their position and threatened by young employees with fresh ideas. Slowly evolving with the times. Mediocrity culture.

    Career Growth is futile, depending on which team you belong to.
    The good thingsThe bonuses when they come are generous. But compared to the humiliation and overwork you will experience, the price is not fair.
    The challengesThe people you work with and the time constraints make for an uncomfortable working experience. Television people are rude and inconsiderate, they say it comes with the job but I would beg to differ.

    low starting rate, but with Great benefits (also annual increase on salary)!
    The good thingsGMA offers a lot of great benefits that surely makes up for the average or almost "low" starting salary rate. Increase were given yearly, so it only takes awhile for the salary to also increase in a reasonable amount. The company truly cares for its employee.
    The challengesPressure filled workloads. although this is very much expected from a production field. You just have to learn the basics and stick with it. Also it is A MUST to be keen on details, since whatever you're working on will affect the airing.

    Segment Producer
    Jun 2022
    Quezon City Metro Manila7 to 8 years in the role, former employee
    Good training ground but not for long-term job
    The good thingsThe news and Public Affairs Department is the best training ground for newbies. If you want to master working under pressure, this is the best option. You will learn a lot, especially in research, editing and producing. Your creative skills will be honed. You will meet people that you can be friends with.
    The challengesHeavy workload is not compensated with the right salary. Yes, you will have good training, but you will experience more financial stress. There's a huge gap between the regular employees and the talents or project-based employees in terms of benefits, access, and treatment of the management.

    GMA treats everyone equally and there's a lot of opportunity to grow here
    The good thingsThe environment is good. My coworkers have been very helpful and we're all treated equally. There is a lot of opportunity for career growth here.
    The challengesAt the moment, working from home may be challenging at times since when it comes to coming with creatives ideas for brands, we're limited to what we can do due to the restrictions brought by the pandemic. This also entailed to us working for longer hours.

    I learned a lot from my superiors. Although sometimes work is challenging because manpower is limited in regional offices.
    The good thingsI value the work ethics of my colleagues. The company is also very generous with benefits and compensation.
    The challengesJust in the regions since manpower is limited 1 person takes 3 or more roles. It can really be challenging to manage time if deadlines come all at the same time.

    The best place to start your career
    The good thingsYearly increase, good environment culture, good people, good bonuses. Lots of experience to learn, a fast paced environment. Best of all if you live in the north, you don't need to travel along the traffic of EDSA. If you are a new grad that is not after high paying (starting job), then this is the best place to start, build up your career, thicken your profile and strengthen your personality.
    The challengesFrom a person who started from the ranks (and now I am an assistant manager), all I can say is that, the company pays good until you get to the position where your decisions have more value than your income, risk are high but the stakes are low. I am happy to work in GMA but being on the management team is quite stressful (yes, it is part of the challenge) but i don't feel motivated with the salary I currently have.
