Pros

some of my co-workers were friendly

Cons

-very low pay -poor treatment of employees -tried to make up for this poor treatment with embarrassing tactics like the party planning committee to keep "morale up" (morale was never up) -racist and sexist management -racist and sexist co-workers -unhealthy work life balance for many employees, especially project managers who worked well well over 40 hours a week -barely any paid time off and no one was allowed to work from home other than the "work from home" employees -employees were forced to come in on dangerous snow days -we did not get christmas eve off -many old systems were in use because management did not want to pay for new better systems -there was not a scanner in the giant warehouse and the warehouse had little available to them to fix shipment issues -the directors were almost all older white men lacking in cultural sensitivity -employees played their terrible music incredibly loud for everyone to hear - when family members of coworkers were sick or died they barely got any time off and it certainly was not paid -employees with serious and grave illness were forced to "pay back" the company for their vacation days used for treatment -the raise system was completely bogus and did not account for inflation -communication was overall terrible -most importantly, DO NOT WORK HERE, i understand the appeal of working in music, but you are MUCH BETTER OFF WORKING SOMEWHERE ELSE

Pros

So many opportunities came from this internship; it helped me years into the start of my career.

Cons

Not amazing pay but still living wage for Orange County. Compared to other music companies this is an asset.

Pros

Most coworkers there are friendly. The biggest pro is, if you’re a music fan, you work with a media that you have a lot of love for.

Cons

Management is clueless most of the time. The owners are out of touch and seemingly live in a bubble. They keep wages low and only increased pay to a “living wage” because they were pressured after a social media blunder that called them out for their toxic and uncaring culture. They don’t care about employees, as anyone who worked there through covid can attest to.
