Pros

Some work perks - Free bagels on certain days, some pizza and sodas on special work-related parties. Maybe once or twice a year you get to see artists on the label, most likely ones you don't recognize, so you realize they were an artist after they leave. Office is located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Benefits are O K. You only get 10 vacation days a year though, to start off.

Cons

- low low low pay. It's so ridiculously low that you wonder how other colleagues survive off of it. I'm assuming they all have a side income coming in or live in a tuna can and walk everywhere. You get paid like you're still in the 1900s where rent couldn't possibly be more than $700 and you paid $1 for a gal of gas. - No room for growth or promotion. Most likely will not happen unless you decide to devote your life to this company, minimum 7-10 years, and considering how they pay you, I doubt you would want to stay for that long. - Supervisors often have no clue what they are doing, yet they try to micromanage you and wants to feel superior just because of their title. Please have a seat. Overall, if you are expecting some amazing opportunities and have a fantasy about working in a major record label, drop all of that now, and consider applying for a different company. Warner is only going down from here. I wouldn't expect a great future in this company. First of all, they have very little appreciation for employees. That's already a red flag.
