Pros

Great opportunity to learn about the industry. You see contracts, work with A&Rs, and interact with lawyers, accountants, and music managers.

Cons

Since the company has become more corporate, the environment isn't very vibrant nor creative. It is unlike music companies of the past. If you are looking for a fun, creative environment, and not one that is less administrative, then this might not be the place for you.

Pros

Enjoyed learning about new artists/music. Worked with some great, talented colleagues. Benefits were top notch.

Cons

This is a fear-based culture through and through. Most are in a constant state of fight or flight. I’d never experienced such a volatile environment which was largely driven from the top. Huge pay disparity between upper management and rest of staff.
