Universal Music Group reviews

where do I start? -extremely micromanaging company -I was guilt tripped into not taking time off when I was sick to prepare for our busy times of year. Hmm, maybe the company should hire more people then instead of rely on 1 person to complete the job? -managers treat you less than, layoffs were done a month before christmas because the manager didn’t like a specific person on the team. -manager (she) was only in favor of the men on the team. She saw the women as a threat to her job and treated the women less than. -don’t even think of taking more than a couple days of PTO. -you’re expected to exceed past their expectations within only a couple months of working there. -they don’t trust temp workers, you had to use your own equipment to do your job and there was no reimbursement for that. -HIGH TURNOVER!!! And HR doesn’t even blink an eye that every couple months/a year someone is quitting and they need to find someone to fill the position QUICK. I was warned by a contracted company working in the umg office about this and boy did I learn my lesson staying at the team. - everyone there or at least in my department was extremely stressed, burnt out, and a lot of my previous co-workers have already quit. Rarely are there people there for over 5+ years. -pay could be better

- If you end up on the wrong team, with the wrong boss, it can be an terrible experience - Experience, pay, and community heavily relies on department/team. - If the head of your department is a narcissist, which was my experience, it's a tough ride. No interest in employee moral - Social Darwinism. - No room for growth, total disregard for moral from leadership, and social cliques reminiscent of High School with gossip, sabotage, and bullies. - Tons of nepotism - 20 year old kids that drive brand new luxury cars, care more about meeting celebrities than music and usually end up at a glamorous position at a major like Interscope. I once asked a young Director what her favorite artists were and she answered, "I'm not good with names". In my case, it lead to bitterness and resentment. - CEO takes a separate elevator to his office, so he never has to interact with employees like they have a disease. Security escorts him in and out of the building. You'd probably get tackled if you tried to talk to him. - I asked one of my bosses for a promotion, as I had gradually taken on responsibilities WAY above my pay grade. He went from nice and social to cold and calculated. He never treated me the same again as if to punish me for valuing myself too much.
