Pros

Entertainment Partners is a 100% employee owned (ESOP) company that provides payroll services to the entertainment industry. The company has offices in several locations across the United States and Canada including Burbank CA, New York City, Orlando FL, New Orleans, Utah, New Mexico, and Toronto. Entertainment Parners also offers such services as: assistance with navigating the benefits of states that offer tax incentives to productions; purchasing and rental services of equipment; publishing the Paymaster Book (the paymaster/production accountant's "Bible of Payroll"); along with accounting, and budgeting/scheduling software. They also own Central Casting which provides over 90% of all background and extra talent to thousands of movie and television productions every year. Several different departments are responsible for paying over 500,000 cast and crew members every year working on movies, television, commercials, and music videos, all over the world. It is the largest "employeer of record" in the state of California, surpassed only by the State itself. It is a wonderful place to work.

Cons

Although the work can be a little stressful at times, the "team-player" attitude makes it all manageable. I really don't have anything critical or bad to say.

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.
