Pros
The job itself is interesting and I worked with colleagues from all over the world. The environment could be laid-back, fun and chaotic at times. Great experience with SAP. Decent work schedule.
Cons
Where to start? I have been working in corporate America for some time and I can honestly say that I have never seen a place as badly managed nor have I seen directors as heartless as the ones at Viacom. True, the company has been doing horribly so they had to lay people off and close the Franklin TN office, but the way the directors went about it was horrible. This is a place with no future and they will keep temporary hires as temps for well over a year. They will also play it vague when they are asked when they will make the temps go permanent and give some lame excuses. With a purely fear-based management, the only possible way to get promoted is to throw yourself into the Game of Thrones-esc environment and be the best at politics. You must be the best brown-noser to get promoted and talk about what a wonderful Christian you are, although you gossip about your own employees loudly everyday. The word "Petty" doesn't even do Viacom justice. In the New York office it is even worse, as they environment there is stiff and cut-throat. And you can forget about getting any recognition, much less a compliment from your supervisor. Morale boosters do not exist at Viacom.
