Pros
Good hours. Mostly good people.
Cons
Bully management from the top.
Advice to Management
There's no room to move up if you're in the middle. The creative team rules, so if you're part of the support team, you will never get the same kind of respect, and will not get promoted. There are managers on the team that actively keep certain positions down. Taking advantage of talent, and finding ways to use the team would be both effective and efficient. VPs, especially those that rose under Les Moonves, are not afraid to use fear based management. No consequences for management or VP behavior when they bully their employees, it's generally expected that that's the way to motivate.

Pros
The experiences for a page at the CBS New York offices are diverse and immersive, and you can work on anything from the Late Show to CBS news, where you gain experience and exposure.
Cons
With few exceptions, almost all of your supervisors will treat you as a replaceable machine who might as well not have a name. They refuse to make any concessions, even when said concessions would have no adverse effects, and only improve the quality of life for low-level employees. Dozens of complaints got us nowhere. HR had the audacity to claim they 'investigated each issue' we raised, and then provided zero change. It is an autocracy where the CEO went unchecked for decades...what would make anyone think that they give even one crap about the low-level employees?
Advice to Management
You might want to actually listen to your low-level employees' complaints, because every new hire will have the same qualms, and you can avoid most of the issues by fixing a few simple things that would improve quality of life for entry-level employees by 10-fold. You can ask HR about these complaints if you have not been made aware. There have been dozens of complaints, and for our qualms to be completed ignored only confirmed how little the company cared about its pages.
