Pros

Still searching for any pros.....

Cons

Not inclusive unless you have worked for the company for a decade or longer. Poor training and overall lack of communication from management. People tend to hoard their work even if they can't get it done timely or accurately. They preach a team mentality but very little collaboration occurs and most people operate on an island. HR has tons of turnover as well, so that should tell you all you need to know.

Pros

It seems like a great thing you know, to get songwriters paid.

Cons

They actually dont pay out very much money in royalties to songwriters. For the most part, the money is used for company parties and bonuses. "non-profit" my butt.

Pros

They have greatly improved outreach to keep employees happy over the last few years (switch to business casual dress year-round, employee appreciation day, etc.). Also have invested a lot to be on the cutting edge of IT. I don't hear many people complain about long hours - the official work week is 37.5 hours (8:30-5:00). For all of the cons listed below, there is good career growth if you are in certain areas, just not across the board.

Cons

The Board of Directors is comprised of broadcasters, who are also the people who pay the company's revenues, so there is an inherent conflict that keeps some change from happening. In general, the Board makes a lot of decisions that should be left to senior management. Also, since the "owner's" do not have a pure profit motive (i.e. they want to distribute all the money to publishers) it creates some odd incentives and does not provide experience in some advanced financial topics. Also, the only people who get true incentive bonuses are senior management (VP's and above) and certain sales people. Everybody else gets a practically automatic bonus at the end of the calendar year that ranges around 3.5%. Lastly, recent court case against Pandora has the possibility to complete upend the entire company's business.
