      Working at Universal is like having a dysfunctional/destructive sibling--you love them but can't have them in your life

      Pros

      An excellent reputation; powerful company within the industry; many, many excellent people employed by the company; many opportunities for global exposure

      Cons

      Void of leadership and vision at the top; incredibly poor organisational cooperation and communication; constant conflict and infighting at all levels; when problems arise in the day-to-day, the reaction at all levels is to find someone else to blame rather than working together to find a solution so that the problem does not occur again; immense overlaps between responsibilities amongst employees; very poor opportunities to develop and grow within the company

      Pros

      Some of the people you work with make it really enjoyable. The people are laid back and no set time when you want to get in and start your day.

      Cons

      Hard to get promoted. You either have to kiss major ass or know someone really well at the top.

      Pros

      chance to work a dream career But there is politics and music sales are dead. Over worked and under paid are accurate words.

      Cons

      The down sides included lots of overtime without pay and an inability to advance due to declined music product sales.
