Toxic behavior

Anonymous employee

Pros

The music business perks are ok, but you can get those anywhere.

Cons

Extreme paranoia and unwilling to listen to qualified employees. Toxic office culture where employees are routinely asked to report on one another. High turnover as a result. No room for career growth unless you quit. You will have to work overtime and not be compensated for it. Typically handles disputes with passive aggression instead of any kind of conflict management. Does not pay freelancers on time. The reputation of a being scrappy underdog isn't intentional - they are in simply in their own way.

Pros

Very flexible with time-off. Awesome to be able to work so closely with artists. You really are in the drivers seat of your career, self-motivation is a must.

Cons

Hard to handle the negativity from some of the coworkers. Something about hearing someone complain every day about the media world, it can drive you mad!

Pros

Super flexible work schedule, a ton of time off around the holidays, chill work environment, definitely open and accepting workplace on a bunch of levels, I learned a ton about things I never thought I would need to know lol, dogs allowed, fast paced (but also a con), you also get to meet some of your favorite bands which is never bad, a lot of room for self improvement if that's your dig

Cons

Fast paced (literally), you'll be doing one thing one minute and a completely different thing the next which sometimes make it hard to focus, some stagnant coworkers who are not doing anything and upper mgmt knows, easily distracted upper management, the company is def going through transitions, turnover in management positions bc lack of leadership
