Pros

Living in LA and working as an assistant at WME is kind of like being a caddy at a gold course but getting to say your dad owns the place. You don't have any real power but you definitely feel like you do. More seriously it's a terrific place to learn about Hollywood deal making as the top agents routinely make some of the biggest of the year. Maybe not the best place to spend a career, but definitely a great place to learn the business and pick up some stories.

Cons

The pay is low and there is often little respect for assistants; but hey, that's Hollywood.

Pros

You learn a lot about the industry working high high-level talent; great career opportunities; 401k and health coverage, etc; fun company events

Cons

High-strung, high-stress environment; many agents seem to suffer from ego-complexes and often fail to even acknowledge their inferiors; the pay is almost criminal considering how long and hard some of these assistants work - salary increases only $1 per year until you become an agent (takes > 4 or 5 years, and less than 10% of assistants make the cut)

Pros

Forward-thinking culture. The training is excellent if you can find good mentors. You are in a swarm of information. Learn how to use it!

Cons

Assistant pay is not enough to live on. Sometimes the assistants are clichey and it feels a bit like high school again.
