Pros

Brilliant staff with a can do attitude. Market leader. Fun place to work.

Cons

Lack of strategy communicated from main board. Promotion difficult as there is no staff investment in both escalation planning & training and constant restructuring. Suffering from declining revenues with a short term cost cutting/minimal resource mentality with no medium term investment in transformation. High pressure.

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.
