Pros

Paramount Pictures will always have its share of detractors, particularly recently due to downsizing. I have been through four regime changes but one thing stood out. It was a great run with a good solid company. Paramount may not be the best and the biggest among the studios but the company cared for its employees.

Cons

Downsizing has resulted in years of lay offs. The regime has not been focused on producing quality movies of late, but otherwise a great company to work for.

Pros

Despite being a lower rung employee at Paramount, I made a decent salary for Los Angeles. I learned a lot, had good benefits and perks. HR was proactive about coaching higher level managers when issues arose.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Constant layoffs created air of paranoia and pushing additional work on already overextended employees without additional compensation or title changes. Lots of unnecessary yelling and snark from all angles. There are very few middle managers, so if you're a coordinator or assistant, you basically have to leave the company to move up because much of middle management has been eliminated.
