Pros

Getting into the Account Coordinator role is an amazing opportunity to get your foot in the door. It opens up a lot of opportunities. Once you hit the 7th and 8th month mark, you become extremely desirable to employers. It's a great job to have on your resume. The workload can get extremely demanding and even overwhelming at times, but the knowledge an experience you gain is invaluable. Immediate management is really great. They really fight for you and look out for your benefit. If you have a strong work ethic and you show that you care about your job, your immediate management is on your side at all times. The company likes to promote within, which is great.

Cons

The money is not great. Although it's expected in the Account Coordinator role, it's very disappointing when getting promoted, because your salary doesn't increase that much. This is why the turnover is very high - people move to different companies where they make at least 10K more. Again, the work gets very hard and demanding at times (depending on the quarter), so be prepared for very long days.

Pros

- Benefits - At the Digital Specialist, Account Manager, and Account Executive level the people are mostly incredible to work with internally - Most AEs are able to have their own offices, which helps significantly to drown out the noise of senior management

Cons

- CEO / Culture post Skydance merger: I never thought I would ever be in a position where I would want to leave a company because of the people. But that is starting to become the case. ELT/SLT does not care about the culture, hard workers, or rewarding loyalty. They will treat you like a number because the only thing anyone cares about (and its so apparent more than ever) is the bottom line. - Compensation and values - working for Viacom and CBS / ViacomCBS / Paramount before Skydance actually felt like it meant something. Now, no one knows if we're even valued and more often than not we're made to feel like every day of our lives here we have to prove our value over and over again. You never genuinely feel safe or comfortable here because there's going to be layoffs every 6 months. Other tech companies will give better compensation - Paramount needs to up their game if they don't want to continue losing their best talent. - You're literally just a number here. The company does not reward hard work or loyalty so it's best to just watch your own back because no one will have it here. They have let go of the best leaders that I've ever come across and have kept toxic egos only because they know how to play the toxic game that working here has become
