Pros

Great benefits, good salary, pleasant co-workers, ESOP. This used to be a great place to work with strong company benefits and nice perks. Unfortunately recent changes have led the company values astray.

Cons

Terribly underqualified leadership and oblivious upper management. Catty management team and incredibly top-heavy, resulting in a "too many cooks in the kitchen" scenario. VP spent ridiculous amounts of money on their own travel and "entertainment" expenses resulting in a negative deficit on the department with zero accountability. Our particular group was very manipulative and selfish on the management level leaving other members of the group with little to no room for advancement, even though it was communicated otherwise. Their lack of leadership and management skills left our department at a standstill and not nearly as profitable as they could have been. Direction was often vague, if any was given, and responsibilities were unclear. Much of the tasks given were to the direct benefit of the management - employees were left doing their work for them and then criticized for not having work done of their own. After the EASE acquisition, the only people left unscathed were the EVP and VPs. Everyone else was demoted via title and given misdirection on expected tasks on a daily basis. It's a shame. There was a time that this was a great company to work for. They seem to have lost their focus and grown increasingly selfish.

I’m glad you believe our benefits and salary are great and that you enjoyed your co-workers. We regret any recent frustration you experienced while at EP. You are correct that we have gone through a lot of change over the past 12 months. First, we reorganized the entire company and then in the middle of that reorganization, we acquired Ease. As the acquisition was ending, year-end processing began full swing. As a result, we are working through challenges and change in order to attain our vision. We hope you landed somewhere great and we wish you well in your career.

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.
