Pros

Working at CBS is great for your resume (I got way more LinkedIn messages after I started working there). The benefits are decent and there are some cool company perks.

Cons

There is no room for new ideas or innovation; they do the exact same things season after season in the exact same way they have always done it. By year 2, you already will start to feel like you're in Groundhog Day. They are very rigid about working from 9:00 to 5:30, the atmosphere is painfully quiet and serious, there are a lot of conservative-minded people in positions of power, and it can take a ridiculously long time to get promoted.

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.
