Pros

Hybrid Work Schedule, Free Streaming across 4 platforms (Paramount+, Showtime, BET+, and Noggin). Also great insurance

Cons

VERY cheap company as if they are not worth billions. Even cut the office snacks for the “shareholders”. Unwilling to hire although current staff are DROWNING. Paramount can be high schoolish and cliquey in terms of co-workers. Smile in your face but passive aggressive behind close doors and will ruin your name. Watch your back. It’s all about who knows who and who is in good favor of the higher ups. Don’t expect any compensation or treatment of your work, it all works on social campaign. They also treat BET as if there is a total divide. They treat BET like the bald head step child and do not supply them with the resources to thrive (budget, personnel, etc). They are drying them out before they sell them.

Are the Perks Worth the Burnout?

Pros

- Decent pay - Fun perks - Lots of ERGs and mental health initiatives (which are only effective if your team’s leadership subscribes to them; not all do) - Telling people you work at Paramount

Cons

- My team is severely under-resourced, despite a constantly growing workload, meaning that VPs and Senior Directors are doing the day-to-day work of managers and coordinators. Some people work 80-100 hours per week. - Though my individual team is tiny, all the various departments that touch a project could amount to over 100 stakeholders on a single project. Knowing who’s who is a daunting task. - Few or no processes in place to make the work efficient or streamlined - Little-to-know value is placed on my specific discipline. Leadership has offered no clear vision for the team or my specific role.

Pros

summer fridays ?? do they still even do that?

Cons

viacom is a JOKE, management is a JOKE. i started here and the office had over 200 employees. the office is down to maybe 10 full time employees and 40 temps they will never actually hire full time and just severely overwork and underpay them. the culture at the office is toxic, management cares very little and is obviously waiting for their severance (everyone openly admits this).
