Beware of Coordinator Title

Pros

Brands are fun and some employees were fantastic

Cons

Low pay (even for multiple years of experience), Upper management expects the world with broken systems that'll have you doing 12+ hour days, your title will haunt you and will keep you from attending a lot of things (even if you do all the work planning it). I had an upper manager who played favorites and would ask very inappropriate things about your personal life (who you were sleeping with ect). Takes about 4-5 years to get promoted and when you see how much they are offering for more work you realize it's not worth it.

Pros

Terrific benefits Pretty solid salary for the entertainment industry The SVP level has some of the legitimately smartest people you will ever meet

Cons

Despite constantly talking flexibility this is super team dependent with high pressure from leadership to do hybrid not remote (even on teams where it makes no sense) SUPER TOP HEAVY - I came in as a director and had no direct reports and did entry level data management and analyses. Really need to stop hiring VPs and directors in favor for analysts

Pros

Love the company's goals and missions. Thats why I've stayed around for so many years. Pay is competitive depending on the role.

Cons

Work locations are outdated. Sometimes feels like you're in the 90's. Company states they are dedicated to diversity and equity meanwhile below mid level roles are the only time you see adequate diversity and those people are overworked due to budget constraints for hiring. Most roles arent backfilled when people leave. Are you LGBTQ+ or racially diverse? Microaggressions are a daily part of life. 401k match and stock programs get worse every year
