      Pros

      They pay overtime and provide under ground parking. They have a gift week off during the chirstmas and new years holidays.

      Cons

      The managers are mean, talk behind your back, immature, unapreciative, collude with each other. They pretend they are listening to you but they will stab you in the back. They will protect their directors at all costs.

      Pros

      Energetic company with a diverse staff. Although the company does not offer the same benefits package that it once did, they still provide their employees with above average benefits. It may go in the wrong (stale) direction when it comes to project promotions, but it still promotes individual creativity. The leaders may not adhere to great ideas but atleast they allow everyone to express their ideas.

      Cons

      Senior management is often stale and promote their friends. There are a few senior executives who are great at their job. The language used would be considered deplorable at any other company, but is not unusual for a record label. Although the staff is divided, the urban and pop staff members are divided down race lines.

      Entertainment is the place to be if you leave in LA

      Cons

      Currently, it is going through outsourcing process. Soon, all IT will be done either by HP or Accenture or anybody else but not UMG employee.
