Lack of genuine leadership makes this a sad place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

(1) There are still some wonderful creative people here; (2) Summer Fridays, if you can take them, are a great perk; (3) The corporate cafeteria -- the Lodge -- is better than ever

Cons

(1) Management is missing in action and unaccountable to the rank and file; (2) the lack of sound fiscal management has had a tremendously demoralizing impact on the day to day -- i.e., huge amounts of time are spent fielding angry phone calls from disgruntled vendors over inexplicable delays in payment so that Viacom can maintain its balance sheet for the Street; (3) work life balance is virtually non existent -- through layoffs and people leaving on their own, the remaining employees are on the clock for 24 hour workdays doing to 2 to 3 jobs without any acknowledgement from management about the collective sacrifices.
