Pros

Salary and health insurance. There are no other pros with CBS Interactive.

Cons

No work culture at TV City location, no career growth, raises occur only because employees going union, managers have no experience with final cut, adobe premiere, media composer or various software and hardware tools needed for digital media needs of EST and VOD partners but will advise on file creation, manipulation, and transcoding. In many cases, employees are performing managerial work but not compensated properly. When you have constantly written to CBS Interactive HR about current managers and directors creating a hostile work environment, inappropriately touching male and female employees, purposefully holding back pertinent training and policies that impact employee work performed and daily schedules, managers having outbursts at work making employees cry in front of other employees. All deemed, "Appropriate and does not fall outside professional behavior," you really need to look elsewhere. As everyone is told when you exit, "We will investigate the issue." But when you are the 4th employee to exit due to horrendous working conditions, culture, management, and an HR group what will do all it can to make sure employees are constantly kept in the dark about their own career growth and potential, you know where you tend to stand in the whole scheme of the organization.

Thanks for the review, we appreciate your feedback regarding your time at CBSi. It is disappointing to hear that you felt there weren’t possibilities for career growth and promotion. It is also concerning to hear your note regarding your experiences with management and HR as this is in no way representative of the values and culture permeated from the CBSi executive team. We take your feedback seriously and would like to hear more. Please get in touch with our ombudsperson, via CBS OpenLine, where you can call or email to share your experience. The CBS OpenLine is at 1-877-CBS-0888 (1-212-975-9913) or CBSOnline@cbs.com.

Pros

People who were at Paramount before the Skydance merger remain talented and amazing people.

Cons

The post-Skydance merger Paramount is an aimless corporate with zero resources, and respect for existing employees. Senior management are coming from Disney, and they’re hiring all their previous Disney colleagues, while laying off employees that have been at Paramount through ages. There has also been a shift in demographics where White men control the power. It’s disheartening to see amazing legacy leadership get demoted and sidelined in favor of incoming White male leaders from Disney. The new senior management will say things like, “We want to invest in people that will stay with us and grow,” yet layoff an entire division that have kept this company running through all the transitions. The disrespect is just ridiculous.
