Pros

-Promotion from within (interns can become part-timers, part-timers can become full-timers) -The skills you learn look great on a resume -You are given a lot of responsibility and any project ideas you have are always welcome -Everyone is extremely friendly and easy to deal with overall (which has personally been the biggest plus) -Experience of working for a large entertainment and media company -Leftover tickets to local events and concerts -Great benefits (if you are young with relatively few health issues)

Cons

-No raises, not even a small cost of living increase. Be prepared to be stuck with your starting salary for years. Pay cuts have been known to happen as well. It's an open secret to never ask for more money. This is why there are no performance reviews. -Expect to be on call and answer e-mails 24/7 - or hear about it from managers if you don't. Best of luck to you if you want a personal life. -Management in the building is approachable, but they have no real power...the power lies in the faceless corporate managers that you will never see or meet. If anyone promises you anything, don't believe them. -"Too many chiefs, too few indians" - often had to report to 4+ managers for things and this can get overwhelming, especially when they are not all on the same page -Everyone does the job of about 3-4 people, the workload can be brutally crushing -Part timers really get screwed

Pros

The company had really good happy hours and events to attend. Food almost everyday.

Cons

Awful management team. Everyone will plot against you if they see potential. Very political culture and one boss there is a weak male figure in the office. If he doesn’t like you all the other managers follow suit. Mind you he has no power at all yet managers at his same level report to him. Must be experienced to work there really come in with a book of business with accounts that have lots of money because that’s all they care about. They will use and abuse you then cast you to the side make sure you have a second job to lean on. Frequent layoffs no managers of color either. Lots of red flags in the begging do not ignore them.
