Pros

Working for the biggest record company in the world. Good benefits - health, 401k, stock purchase plan, etc. If you are a higher-level executive (V.P. and above) it gets even better, with travel and bonus perqs.

Cons

A huge, often disparate company where one department often doesn't know - or doesn't agree with - what another is doing. Like the rest of the music business, it is high school with paychecks. Slackers get promoted if they know the right people. Good, strong workers get axed if they don't.
