Pros
+Anyone who is lucky enough to get "in the mailroom" at a top 4 talent agency (CAA, WME, UTA, or ICM) has hit the jackpot. If you put in 1-2 years of solid work for a respected agent, and learn the in's and out's of Hollywood, then you'll have a much better chance of getting any job you want in the biz - including for top level agency clients! +Beautiful offices and celebrities walking through +You feel like you're in the center of it all +Prestige
Cons
+Povery-level wages that make it impossible to live on - except if you come from a family who can send support = lack of both racial and socio-economic diversity +Back-stabbing "shark-like" culture = extreme stress and you're constantly wondering who you can trust +Long hours +Agents treat you like a servant for the first 3 months until you prove yourself +Foul language +Sexist and misogynist comments +As a woman, you have to work 10x harder to prove yourself in a world where men rule +Male-dominated, frat-boy culture +ICM seems to represent all the aging talent in Hollywood vs the new talent
