Good job. No future.

Pros

Good benefits. Steady job. Not a good place if you want to move up on the ladder. Good 9-5 job.

Cons

No room for growth. No raises. No bonuses. You can get comfortable with your job quickly and get stuck.

Pros

chance to work a dream career But there is politics and music sales are dead. Over worked and under paid are accurate words.

Cons

The down sides included lots of overtime without pay and an inability to advance due to declined music product sales.
