Pros

People think that your job is interesting, great work-life balance, could be better if you worked in marketing or sales as those departments are clearly most valued

Cons

No career progression plans for younger employees - expect you to work blindly until an opportunity is "given" to you (coworker above you quits/laid off). No official training provided, thrown into the fire and you sink or swim. Favourtism obvious with certain managers. Terrible overall compensation. Cliquey environment means that some people may never talk to you based on your department - ie not in the "important" departments of marketing/sales/promo. Office and location is abysmal. Ultimately working under a flawed business structure where revenue available is shrinking every year and employees are expected to navigate 20 years of poor business decisions/waste and a failing record industry (not music industry as a whole). Morale is kept up by touting the company line of reaching annual business plan even though profit goals are reduced yearly.
