Pros
- Free swag and shows can't be beat. Tons of great artists and a lot of cool shows. - You meet some really great and interesting folks. The majority of the people who work here are very cool and hard working. Most people work at places like this because they have always dreamt of working in music and are happy to be there.
Cons
- The hours are long. The dinners and shows are fun but they do become mandatory. Great when you are young and full of energy and sans obligation. Afterwards, it is a breeding ground for adult-children. That can be a lot to handle. - The pay is terrible. If you can figure out how to live on 30k a year in Manhattan for a while in order to chase a dream, do it. If you have bills, you're screwed. - The promotion to other positions is highly unfair. It is far more political than it should be and has little to do with company loyalty or work production. Supervisors will go so far as to lie to the very high level executives and claim no one internally is interested in a job. You're either a favorite here or there is no growth.
