Pros

SOME of the people are fun. I've made some great friends here. fun happy hours, etc

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE if you don't want to be treated like a slave. There is rarely upper movement, politics are horrible, and Directors and above are old dinosaurs who are so stuck in their ways. The media industry is 10+ years farther along than Viacom is. All upper management talks about is the heyday of MTV. But now that the ratings and viewership is declining people are fearful for their jobs, creating terrible politics. You get laid off if the SVP personally doesnt like you or you promoted if you're in the SVPs ear. Oh & gossip is everyones favorite thing to do. I swear this place is just a grown up college Greek System. Also do not expect HR to ever help you. I've gone to them before for some serious issues with upper management and they were NO help. All SSEs + CSRs complain all day about how much they hate this place. Seriously do yourself a favor and DO NOT WORK HERE

Do NOT work here!

Pros

Great benefits and perks, but don’t let that fool you!!

Cons

Layoffs happening left and right, but very quietly so you don’t know it’s happening all around you. Upper management has no plan for properly re-orging all the teams they tear apart in the layoffs. They keep the worst people on top. Upper management on my team was the worst I had ever seen in my career. They have no idea how to manage and care only about themselves. No career growth whatsoever, and when you ask about it you are told titles dont matter and you should just be thankful to have a job.

Thanks for the review, we appreciate your feedback regarding your time at CBSi. It is great that you enjoyed the location and your co-workers while with the Company. However, your note regarding your experiences with management are concerning, as this is in no way representative of the values and culture permeated from the CBSi HR or executive team. Although the processes may not be apparent to all employees, our internal compensation bands are reviewed several times per year to ensure that employees performing the same job are being compensated fairly and in line with market compensation data. With this in mind, we are still always looking to improve and your feedback is valued as we continue to improve communication in the future.
