Pros

Endeavor is one of the knowledge centers in hollywood. Typically, you'll be privy to exciting and confidential information. Be smart and keep your mouth shut if you value your job. If you're in it to brag to your friends how cool you are bc you just spoke, met or read so and so's work - good luck. If you're in it to make a difference, good luck bc you're judged by the money you bring into the agency, not creative you help produce (and not get credit for). If you're a sales person, this is for you. If you're a salesperson who's actually smart and driven you might just make it in hocking creative talent for a living. blue sky limit

Pros

- Unparalleled opportunity, exposure, connections - Fast-paced and incredibly interesting business; talented clients - Film screenings and free concert tickets (sometimes) - Great mentors and friends if you are lucky - Once I left, it was very easy to get an interview at other prestigious places - Being proactive and "on it" is rewarded. If you're great at your job, eventually it will be noticed - If you drink the koolaid, WME can be the most amazing place in the world

Cons

- 12 hour days are normal and pay is terrible - Overtime pay was restricted so people were staying in the office working for free - Extremely cutthroat and competitive, particularly in the mailroom, varies by department - Volatile/ego-driven personalities run wild - Assistants constantly stuck in daily lose-lose situations (try to get a good boss) - Getting a first desk is the most difficult part... no organized system in interviewing for a desk, HR is not on your side, nepotism is huge - Crying in the bathroom is normal - Being afraid to leave your desk to go to the bathroom is normal - Every week, someone quits or gets fired - People judge you for taking time off, boss may fire you for taking time off - Very cliquey and gossipy and high school - This place brings out the worst in people
