Pros

-Great experience -Good place to make connections -Large market share (we own most of the labels) -International production department has a manageable workload, compared to domestic production -Great coworkers

Cons

-Hard to move up within a department, often have to jump to another dept or company. -Some departments, like domestic production, are overworked with multiple combined labels. -Mass layoffs happen every year or two. -Salary doesn't increase very fast in this department (2% increase per year is tough for some to live off of in expensive NYC)

Pros

Enjoyed learning about new artists/music. Worked with some great, talented colleagues. Benefits were top notch.

Cons

This is a fear-based culture through and through. Most are in a constant state of fight or flight. I’d never experienced such a volatile environment which was largely driven from the top. Huge pay disparity between upper management and rest of staff.
