Pros
Looks good on resume. Turn-overs are so high , so it was easy to get hired ( coming from another studio). I was a senior analyst at a different studio, but got hired as a senior manager. I was told other candidates turned down the offer because of lower pay rate. Senior manager's pay rate is about $90. Managers at other studios make more than that. I only took it because I was making $80k as a senior financial analyst.
Cons
20% lower pay scale than other major studios Horrible slate. The group I am in ( Home Entertainment) only issues bonuses to directors and above. Analysts, managers and senior managers don't get anything. Deals in place to give too much $ to producers and above the line where Paramount is set to lose money from the get-go. International business is a joke - no leadership, no clear directives on initiatives. No wonder Fox and Universal are taking over. Extremely hard to back-fill a position because Corporate Finance doesn't approve the headcount even though it is not a new opening , but rather to fill a position that someone LEFT.
