Pros

- Working with world class brands - Friendly, smart co-workers - 1515 is an amazing building to work in - Very relaxed working schedule - Casual dress code Overall, a fun place to work for a period of time. The holiday parties are incredible, lots of events going on in 1515, and a good place to start your media career if you have little to no experience.

Cons

- No room for advancement - Lower salaries compared to similar positions in the area - Too much red tape - Failing business struggling to stay relevant (when compared to the rest of the industry) - Revolving door of employees coming and going - Notorious for hiring “perma-lancers” ( hiring contract workers, keeping them for years, and never giving them benefits).

Pros

People who were at Paramount before the Skydance merger remain talented and amazing people.

Cons

The post-Skydance merger Paramount is an aimless corporate with zero resources, and respect for existing employees. Senior management are coming from Disney, and they’re hiring all their previous Disney colleagues, while laying off employees that have been at Paramount through ages. There has also been a shift in demographics where White men control the power. It’s disheartening to see amazing legacy leadership get demoted and sidelined in favor of incoming White male leaders from Disney. The new senior management will say things like, “We want to invest in people that will stay with us and grow,” yet layoff an entire division that have kept this company running through all the transitions. The disrespect is just ridiculous.
