Pros

A large company with great benefits. If you are fortunate enough to work for an area that is the "flavor of the day" you can have a really good experience.

Cons

As is often the case in large companies, you'll have to be "in" with the right people to get ahead. Joining the "boys club" is not easy at all. The company has changed a lot since the early days of MTV.

Pros

Good company to start out at and then use as a springboard for newer, more innovative jobs elsewhere.

Cons

It was once a cutting edge company but now it has been described as "a dinosaur in the online world" by clients. Tougher and tougher to sell to clients. There's a lot of apathy.

Pros

As an account coordinator I learned a lot about sales administration duties, how to put together proposals, and how to support sales reps. I enjoyed the team that I worked with, there were many intelligent and vibrant people working there. My boss taught me well and the training for ACs is pretty strong.

Cons

I would've like to have stayed, but it's very difficult to move up within this company. I tried going for several promotions and each time someone external was brought in as the new hire. It appears that CBSi wants people in more entry-level roles to stay there until they take a job elsewhere.
