Pros

Caveat these pro's apply to pre-merger WME/IMG: The benefits are the best you will find and they are fighting to keep it that way. The compensation is fair with a bonus structure based on tenure not merit (exception would be agent bonuses which is based on revenue).

Cons

Pre-Merger: Demanding work schedule (in effect when you get an e-mail you have 15 minutes to respond before DefCon 1 is reached and the time could be 24 hours a day 7 days a week) Post-Merger: Same as above with additions......new leadership has decided to seek advice from outside consultants and rely none at all on the competence of existing employees; decisions are made in a vacuum, benefits and compensation are not being carried over to new employees
