Rogers Television

I chose to volunteer with Rogers Television because I wanted more experience working in a live television setting. I assumed this experience would be beneficial in my hunt for paying work. I learned a great deal about broadcasting live sports, and for that I am grateful, but I was often expected to work 12 hour days for nothing more than a slice of pizza. Such is the nature of volunteering--but the level of commitment seemed unreasonable, and not once has my experience with Roger's impressed potential employers. The supervisors were all very kind and willing to teach, but many of the other volunteers poisoned the work environment with their egos. The work rarely seemed like a fun activity for like-minded volunteers. The false sense of superiority from others, long hours and thankless end-product left me with nothing but a sour experience.

I loved my time at Rogers. I got to volunteer for several positions, including audio, teleprompter operator, stage hand, and mostly as a cameraperson. (In fact, when operating a video camera, I came to see the camera as my "third eye." Rogers has a very supportive workplace culture and an understanding one. The word could get hard, but then when working in media, that's the norm -- if you can't take the heat, get out of the station. But Rogers was where I first realized that film and TV were my elements.

My time at Rogers Television as a production volunteer was full of learning opportunities, positive networking practicing, and the creation of strong production skills that would increase my job opportunities of the future. The employees were always friendly to the volunteers and always found times to show us new procedures that we could implement into our daily responsibilities. I would highly recommend Rogers Television to any teenager looking to build early skills in the career path of film and television production.

Volunteering at Rogers Television has taught me quite a bit about time management skills and various responsibilities in the workplace. Utilizing a wide range of equipment including camera and audio equipment on the set of their television series gave me a sense of responsibility for how certain segments of the show would turn out. Employees were kind and were willing to help if I ever needed help or had a question about the equipment.

Hours were reasonable.  They were very aware of overtime being put in and were very flexible with lieu time.

I didint mind it here, I learned how to put the graphics on the screen during the tv shows. I also got to try the audio part of the program. I thought this was good for those who want to work in tv.

I learned so much form so many folks in my 5 years,  it was the best 5 years of experience that i received .  It helped me in my journey into other media jobs

A good opportunity to wear many hats and take charge of various aspects of production, but with no room for advancement and no mentorship. Position favours the resourceful.

At Rogers they give you opportunities to try many different roles within the company. Helped you learn alot about the industry and gives you the experience that you need.

Very friendly crew, Great for someone to enter the business. I used my time there as a stepping stone to further myself in the industry and to familiarize myself with the equipment.
