Truly Awful...

Pros

It's a memorable brand...not much to really say than that. HR really tried their best to provide training probably the best programme i've had during my time in employment (if given the chance to attend them) at times I was made to feel as if I had committed murder because I attended a training. Benefits are good and varied

Cons

Truly terrible management for middle to top level, probably the worst place I've ever worked. Here are a few words to describe this nightmare: Eerie, dark, odd, malicious, toxic, unappreciated, backstabbing Chinese whispers are regularly played on a daily basis. When new starters walked through the door I truly feel sorry for them, you should see the sadness on there faces and the realisation of "What have I done". For such a iconic brand this company is so backwards and the rot has set in on many levels. The Hills have eyes and there eyes are set on Viacom Media Networks There were times I would come home and cry thats how bad this place was...

Pros

Viacom is a media powerhouse, depending on what network in the brand portfolio you work for will depend on your experience. I had a great experience at Viacom. I spent 4 years, employed at two networks. Each department and network operates very differently, so one can not give a blanket review. It is a great corporation to start your career and advance to upper management. Great benefits, awesome employee programs and perks. This is one corporation that really understands how to impact the employee via the programs and initiatives offered by HR.

Cons

Salary: large corporations have salary caps but I do think the salary should reflect the location of the city it is operating in, NY, NY is expensive.

Pros

Great company culture! There is always an event, a talk, a class going on. It's a world class entertainment company and it feels like that.

Cons

Hard to get approval to miss work to attend some events sometimes. 1000's of Project based employees with no benefits. That sucks.
