Pros

Good work environment at Mexico's office full of young people. Learned a lot about how a multinational company operates. Adopted some great skills while working here.

Cons

Terrible leadership at CBS, so corrupted that you need a good relation to receive the best opportunities (STAs, migrations, promotions). Managers want you to do the work of the least talented people with no rewards. No recognition to the best talents, so they leave.

Pros

The culture is very caring and the multiple levels within the organization as well as its global reach allow for career advancement.

Cons

The company knows how to sell products to brick and mortar retailers like nothing else and knows how to manage the business efficiently to deliver profit. However, these aspects of the company are what hold it back from embracing change, adapting to change and doing more innovative things. It's an old-school way of doing things that make it a difficult place for anyone who considers themselves to be a creative and critical thinker that wants to challenge the status quo and do things differently.
