Pros

Great place to start a career or get back into the workforce. The workplace is not very demanding at all and provides a comfortable 9-5 for those just looking to get by.

Cons

The salaries are pretty low, however, it does match the demand. If you are middle management, you must share an office. You must hope that you are placed with a professional that actually works. Playing music and watching, TV, or movies is accepted - even when they are played at the max. If you need to speak over the phone, you must learn to yell at your co-workers - employees use explicit s to get there point across.

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.
