Pros

Amazing atmosphere. You work with friends, no dress code, and MTV overall has a lot to offer as far as perks go. Great hours, Great content, Great colleagues. The Lodge cafeteria at 1515 is also a major pro. Flexible schedules.

Cons

Salary. It's the downfall of the company. Employees are not rewarded for loyalty or hardwork. There is a lot of HR rhetoric that gets thrown around when one tries to stand up for themselves or ask for raises. I have seen a lot of good people get laid off, pushed out and denied requests for political reasons but, Viacom is a major corporation and with that comes a lot of office politics. The atmospher has shifted to a much more corporate environment over the last few years, which has affected company-wide morale.

Pros

The people here are very friendly and are eager to help you if you need any help. The executives are caring and look out for you too.

Cons

The only downside I have I guess is the salaries aren't amazing but it's a good trade off when you go to a work in such a happy place. It would also be nice to update the computers a bit.

Pros

When there are things for the interns to do, it's great. You'll get to sit in on tapings and help coordinate shoots.

Cons

We worked during a very slow season. Our supervisors had nothing to do, we in turn had nothing to do.
