      Pros

      No pros. The royalty finance group in Universal Music Group distribution will ruin your life, destroy your mental health. Do not work for for people who are over weight, single, have a lot of cats and never leaves work.

      Cons

      Ask people who have worked there for advise, if people tell you that everyone is that group left, then you know you should not work there.

      Don't recommend - Abusive execs

      Coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You do get full benefits, but it'll cost you!

      Cons

      HR is there for the execs and the execs ONLY. If you report any type of harassment and abuse they will find a reason to let you go (like during layoffs), but will do nothing the abusive executive. And they have a DO NOT REHIRE list. You can have the most perfect resume and meet every single qualification and they will reject your application every single time. The pay is abysmal, the perks are few (very few), and they have these high school like cliques that you can't join.
