It looks good on the resume

Pros

It's Paramount Pictures... it looks great on a resume and feels good to say out loud. Additionally, it is a well-known entity and a mostly fun and reasonably "laid-back" workplace compared to the more "corporate" atmosphere of other entertainment companies.

Cons

It has a lot of chiefs and not very many injuns, as the saying goes. Compared to other industries, the titles of "management" at Paramount are highly overstated to the allowed responsibilities. Everything is top-secret, no sharing with vital partners, or internally if there is even the chance that it might get "leaked" to the press... as if the press doesn't find out from the 1000's of theatres or retail customers.

Pros

its a paycheck, and the benefits are fair. you get free dvds if you work under the home entertainment umbrella. As with any other company, you get sick days, personal days, jury duty days and accrue vacation days. Paramount has its own theater, so you get to watch free movies every week, not just paramount movies, also other movies from other companies that do well in the box office. Also, you get to bring guests to see the movies with you, so you never have to pay to go to a regular theater to watch a movie as long as you work here.

Cons

Poor management, individuals who seem to know the least get the best promotions. This place has too much politics, if you are the type of person who likes to suck up to management to move up the corporate ladder, than this is the place for you, i have experienced it first had. One real important note about this dump is that you will move up faster by networking and making friends than you will by working hard and trying to get praised for hard work from management. The way this company is structured makes it difficult for you to motivate yourself to want to work hard.
