Sure fire way of getting into the entertainment business

Pros

The connections made at WME will last your entire life if you are there for 6 months or a year or more. I am still in contact with the group I started with and we are all at different companies within entertainment. You will pick up the skills you need to do any desk assistant job. It is a wonderful thing to have on your resume.

Cons

They treat you like animals and pay you dirt at assistant level. The hollywood agency, "treat your assistant like crap" culture is still alive. There are a handful of agents who are above it but you really have no choice when coming out of the mailroom. HR will not help you, its dog eat dog so when you get a desk you take it regardless of the agents personality.

Pros

You learn a lot. There's so much to take in and there are many opportunities to explore, especially if you aren't sure exactly what facet of the business you want to be in.

Cons

It's very competitive, as most positions in the industry are. You have to work hard, constantly reestablish your relationships, have thick skin and be ready for war. And you still my not be accepted into the big boys club. It's possible you'll second guess your experiences and abilities, but you are enough, and if for some reason it doesn't necessarily work out for you there, know that you've left with a wealth of knowledge and you will still land on your feet somewhere amazing. Know that there's more out there for you other than WME.
