Great place to meet like minded people, but not worth staying very long.

Business Outlook

Pros

You are able to get access to a lot of shows, movie premieres, unreleased books and albums. There is a sense of camaraderie that develops as you start at the bottom/mailroom with other people, and that will carry on through your other jobs after WME.

Cons

Employees are mistreated, disrespected and undervalued. Senior agents are frightened of the younger, more vibrant, better educated and more in-tune with current culture, assistants.... so they are sure to never promote or speak highly of their assistants. It's a degrading place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

The agents and assistants are the best in the business. Professional, passionate about their clients, the smartest, sharpest people you'd ever want on your side as an artist.

Cons

Incredibly blatant in senior management's disrespect for female employees, very much a Boy's Club and a short list of those who were consistently rewarded and the rest were largely used for their skills but underappreciated and compensated in a diminishing manner each year since the merger/takeover.
