Pros

Working at EP, you work alongside, and often directly with, the top entertainment companies in the world... for now. The legacy of the company they have been and the role they have played in the industry still carries a lot of weight.

Cons

Where to start? The place is a bureaucratic nightmare, and you will receive conflicting directions directly from your boss's boss's boss's boss and your boss's boss's boss. Meanwhile, your direct supervisor will tell you not to listen to either boss because they don't know what they're doing (which is true.) Honestly, the management team at Entertainment Partners is one of the most baffling systems I've ever worked in... they seemingly promote people who CAN'T do anything into leadership positions. Sort of a "those-who-can't, teach" only "those-who-can't, manage" strategy. As a result, you'll sit in meetings and have your job explained to you on a weekly basis by people that have never come close to doing anything like it. Your feedback will not be listened to on initiatives decided by these people, and if you share feedback regardless, you will be perceived as a problem child next on the cutting block for the near-constant layoff cycle. You'll constantly be told to "put the client first", but severely reprimanded if you don't actually put the company first. For clients? Clients are regarded as constant whiners who don't "get" the software or process and/or don't understand their own needs. This company took a huge downturn once it stopped being employee owned. Its days are very numbered as a power player in the industry.

Pros

The team and my coworkers around me are incredible hardworking people

Cons

If you are looking for a payroll job, DO NOT WORK HERE. Here is a list of why you dont want to work at Entertainment Partners: 1. Severe underpay for amount of work assigned on a weekly basis 2. Upper management gives fake promises of promotions and career growth 3. CEO is killing the company by malpracticing basic business fundamentals which is tanking the company financially. 4. Lay offs are NOT performance based and have happened twice a year since 2023. If you are looking for an accounting or payroll job in the entertainment industry, please look at other companies such as Greenslate, Wrapbook and Cast & Crew. Its a shame that the CEO, Mark, is too far gone and doesnt learn from his mistakes. This company used to be one of the greatest in the industry. Now its a complete shell of its former glory.
