Pros

Hmmm.. listening to music while at work.

Cons

Mediocrity is not only tolerated but rather celebrated at Universal Music. Everything from antiquated leadership and practices to not understanding the value of its employees. HR is a complete joke and seen as paper pushers to the business. Although given my experiences with the department I can see why. Management still thinks it's feasible to bring people in at an incredible low salary because "we're the music industry". It's also no longer 1980..

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.
