Pros

Music is a fun and interesting industry.

Cons

The music industry continues to be in a difficult stage of its evolution. New media platforms and piracy issues continue to eat away at profits, as traditional ways of doing business over complicate costly administration. There are many managers who have been in the same jobs and working for the same people for a very long time. Consequently, it's difficult for new comers to become part of the in crowd who are always at the head of the line for career advancement.

Pros

If you're looking to work for a huge music company, SonyBMG is probably the best place for you behind Universal.

Cons

the main downside is that the industry is not doing well, therefore the company is not doing well. I've also seen little room for growth and have also only seen management level or hire promoted from within. You sit and work and watch while VP's get promoted to Sr. VP's.
