Worked Until Sick - Associate Producer CBS TV Distribution Employee Review

Pros

Unforgettable memories getting to do cool things I'll tell my kids about someday. From going to the Oscars to interviewing various celebrities, there were certainly things about this job that were a blast. And the lower level employees—from camera ops to production coordinators to editors and directors—are some of the most fun, down to earth people I've ever worked with. We were just working hard and sticking it out together.

Cons

Financial pressures from up top mean that this company works non-union personnel into the ground. 100 hour weeks weren't uncommon. I worked often from 5:30am until late into the night, plus weekends and holidays, and was attached to my phone 24/7 the little time I didn't spend at work. This kept up until the pace quite literally made me sick and disabled from working, then I never heard from many in upper management who had pretend to be my "friends" ever again.

Pros

Very well paid, but no other reasons to degrade yourself here. Mean, spiteful people. I will never forget the Christmas gift I got from management, a re-gift with the other person's name scratched out and mine placed on it.

Cons

Lied to by HR and poached from another company. Was told what a great place it was to work for and learned quickly that it was all a lie. When I approached HR, their response was "Oh well". Management that takes fun at making their employees cry. Humiliating to work for. Now that I have left, I have met many many people that have had the same experience. High school with money, very cliquey. If you are offered a position, they will offer you thousands more than you were previously making. Run, there is not amount of money that can make this job good.
