Pros

Love the people I work with and the friendly lot environment...everyone is very welcoming and people say "Hello" and look you in the eye as they pass you by.

Cons

The pay isn't exactly the best, and they do often work with antiquated systems. There's growing frustration among many people regarding the types of movies that Paramount is producing/greenlighting. There really isn't an overall sense that you're working for "One Team", the "Paramount Family". I worked at Disney for many years and they had a special way of making you feel like you were "Part of the Magic". There's no real leadership presence here, it would be nice if there was a way to make the employees feel more engaged and connected to Paramount movies and it's philosophy.

Pros

The Paramount lot is absolutely beautiful and always full of exciting things! My boss allowed me to have full access to all projects and day to day activities, which was a great learning experience . I interned my last semester before graduating. I wish I would have been able to be there longer! Free movie screenings, awesome networking events and nice HR team.

Cons

I wish there was a better opportunities for interns to become full-time employees. The woman who handles hiring does not work with the interns throughout the semester. This was frustrating because bring a productive intern seemed to go unnoticed. I received valuable advice regarding jobs from other HR team members, but felt it didn't go far with the current system.
