Pros

Interesting people and exciting people. You can learn all that you would want about the entertainment industry is you wish to. If you want a career in the business of entertainment, this is the best place to start.

Cons

Pay is bad and you won't get overtime. Hours are long. Personalities can be crazy, you need thick skin and the ability to not take things personally. Everyone is looking out for their own interests and is afraid of screwing up. There is very little "team" attitude.

Pros

The work was interesting, great vacation time if you don't mind working remotely during your vacation.

Cons

Disastrous work/life balance. Organization is top heavy with to many "big thinkers" and not enough people to execute those grand ideas.

Pros

The perks to working for this company include: seeing just about anyone in Hollywood in the office at any time. There aren't too many jobs where you can run into Ryan Reynolds in the lobby. The health benefits are great too! This job looks great on your resume if you are thinking of continuing in this industry.

Cons

This company, just like the entertainment industry in general, is very cut-throat. Starting in the mailroom and at the assistant level, you are dealing with a wide-range of personalities, working long hours, and making just a little more than minimum wage. You won't be making overtime either. There is a lot of turnover at this company, where the average lifetime of an assistant is 6 months.
