Pros

The name of the company is a plus on your resume.

Cons

- No growth opportunities or career path - Upper management prevents growth and personal development - Upper management has the maturity level of the entry level employees they hire right out of college - Upper management is manipulative and engages in gossip - Upper management is inexperienced and refuses to engage with subordinates for work issues - Employees (including myself) were put in very uncomfortable situations... *Due to the issues above, the turnover rate is not only through the roof but ignored by management (this is why i voluntarily chose to leave).

Pros

You get to tell people you work at Warner Music Group which is cool... some cool co-workers in some divisions.

Cons

Honestly so much. The top things in order from worst to just bad 1.) leadership: everyone’s under a lot of pressure for deadlines and what not and no one really knows how to lead in this group. The VP here... well is just plain out miserable. Little cooperation, little room for growth, absolute zero learning opportunities. And This is just the tip of the iceberg. Worst management by far I’ve ever had. 2.) monotonous work.. even for finance/shared service. 3.)environment. Some were better than others. This particular one was not enjoyable though. Very quiet. No one really talks. It feels like you’re in a library. I could continue on too. All in all... I don’t want to bash anyone that works here. But if you’re interviewing for this considering taking far less money than what you’re worth just to be in the music industry - I would urge you to think very hard about it. Since I’ve left, my working hours have gone down about 35% and my salary has doubled - and the I work in a significantly better environment with good leadership now. Best of luck in your search out

Pros

Good benefits Cool new office (although "open" floor plan can be challenging and noisy). Name-brand company (but they think you should just be grateful to work here because of it and don't offer many other benefits besides having a big name on your resume).

Cons

There are way too many VPs/SVPs/EVPs. The pay is incredibly low, even for industry standards. No growth opportunities/career pathing for lower levels. Crazy hours and people are regularly in the office until 8 pm, and then go home and continue working. Morale is low and many people seem to be looking to leave or actually leaving. Serious lack of diversity that they don’t seem to care about.
