Pros
My coworkers have been my saving grace. Incredible people who look out for one another and help when they are needed. My coworkers always had my back and made me feel appreciated despite terrible treatment from Execs. Company has great benefits
Cons
ViacomCBS has tainted my view on the industry as a whole. I received zero training at the start of my employment. I’ve endured bullying and mental abuse from sr. Level executives. I was taken advantage of due to my junior level position and little experience in the industry. I’ve been yelled at, made to complete demeaning tasks, and had false accusations made against me. Several complaints to HR have fallen on deaf ears. Execs are allowed to get a way with treating their staff horribly. Being an assistant on my team, there was little opportunity for growth. Execs did not care to help me grow and I was often provided work with little to no context making it difficult to succeed. I experienced daily micro aggressions from my execs. Because of this, I faced anxiety that I am now seeking professional help with. Execs expect you to be accessible around the clock. I was expected to respond to emails and slacks within 1 minute. If I took any longer , my whereabouts would be questioned. I faced retaliation from execs after going to HR. Execs began micro managing me and sent emails for every thing they felt was not done right. It became evident a case was being built against me even though I’ve been there for over a year with little to no issues regarding my work. I was over worked and undervalued. Supporting multiple execs while receiving lower compensation compared to someone only supporting one. Rarely received constructive feedback. My execs were eager to let me know what I was doing wrong and not doing right. Execs care more about their reputation than the well being of their team. They expect their team to go above and beyond without providing proper compensation. Execs can get a way with performing at a sub par level while their team handles majority of the work.
