CBS Corporation Employer Reviews

Everyone is really about progression and taking new risk. It is a fast paced environment, but you can move up staying ahead of the game.

My experience at CBS taught my the importance of execution. I learn to become more aware of my client needs which lead to better presentations, closing ratios, and overall success.

Poor management but fun environement. very stressful to where the controller caused one of the accountants to break down and be Physically ill.

With the rotating barrel of management bullets, it's shot out one day and loaded the next.

I love working at CBS radio. Everyone I work with is a joy to be around and always starts their day with a smile. My boss and the rest of the staff members are there for each other at any time of day when something is needed and it goes to show that healthy work environments really do exist.

Viacom is the parent company. CBS radio has 7 stations in Chicago.

If you like your career stagnant, and a work environment where everyone is miserable; this is your place.

First off, nobody talks to anyone in the office. Not even to say good morning. It's really weird, I never saw anything like that in any office before.

I don't think there is any career advancement ever. I haven't seen a single promotion or department – more... switch in my time there.

Also some of the products CBS seems to offer are really misguided, poorly thought out, and mismanaged.

Maybe it's just my section. But I wouldn't recommend applying to CBS unless you're desperate for work. – less

I researched all social media for stories to report on, created funny and entertaining commentary. Produce commercials, skits and promos. Interview stars, celebrities, community leaders and local talent. Set up and worked special events. Management encouraged and nurtured my talents and skills so I can become more effective. My co-workers look to me – more... for guidance and advice because of my experience. The most difficult thing about my job was leaving it. I enjoyed going to work 95% of the time I worked there. – less

Intern at the top sports radio station in the US was the ultimate expieriance. Learning from the best in the business while also in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. Never seemed like work.

Make cold calls from listener list, and meet a weekly survey quota
Fully engage with the listeners and gather specific information and preferred music selections

My experience was good at the company and I can recommend this company.

Very poor management(non-approachable), extremely stiff environment, high turn over of accounting personel.

A typical day was very redundant, with little to know room for change. I learned a good deal about the radio industry, but mostly that it was not for me. Management was lax, but effective. Co-workers were often fellow college students working on non-paid internships for college credit. The job was not difficult at all. I most enjoyed brainstorming market – more... strategies and promotion tactics. – less

Typical days include working events. You do something different everyday and meet new people everywhere you go.

Setting up, operating, and taking down remote promotional sites to promote radio stations and events. I learned how to be part of a promotions team, interacting with the public, and meeting important persons. Management was very professional and fun. Co-workers were fun and helpful. Hardest part of the job was lifting heavy equipment. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was interacting with radio DJs. – less

100% cold calling. No auto allowance. New reps are not assigned active accounts. If you do not have multiple sales within 90 days you are gone. Plan on doing a lot of driving and spending your own money for gas. Prime prospect's are on secured account lists of the veteran reps. No assigned territories, everything is fair game to anyone.

As an intern I had the opportunity to learn the daily buisness associated with operating a radio station. The management team was excellent and provided guidance to all the interns. Learning to work the boradcasting key board was exciting and a little complicated initially.

Advertising sales is what it is, not easy in a down economy but fun place to work, people for the most part are awesome.

Learn a lot about radio business. My co workers have been extremely kind and have taught me a lot.

Currently, I've been hired as a part-time DJ for the Mix 96 station in Sacramento, and I'm so glad to be back on the air. I do wish I was working for the station full-time because so far everyone is so nice to work with. Also, the music is fun and upbeat!
