Warner Bros. reviews about "management"

Difficult to grow career. Management has favorites. High school mean girls club all over again with what are supposed to grown adults.

- Upper management is sometimes lacking in course setting and correction. - Pay might not be as competitive as some other studios.

Hiatuses are an expected part of the job – when you're done boarding a season of TV, there's no more work for you to do. In my experience, I've seen that WB Artist Management makes an effort to keep as many artists on staff in some capacity as they can, but the industry is particularly dry as of March 2025 and the recruiters can't manifest jobs out of thin air. I personally attribute this risk-averse strategy of greenlighting fewer productions to the mismanagement of the WB brand and the fallout of 2 nearly back-to-back mergers (first AT&T, now Discovery). Also, from what I understand, WB pays less than other studios for similar storyboarding work.

Management do not care about you or your problems, will actively ignore you to make you go away They don't take complaints of bullying or harassment seriously

You’re not treated like an adult. Management are so incompetent and will say you need to ‘do more’ but won’t actually come out on the floor to see you do it so you end up in a position where you’re stuck. Favouritism is rife. One of our managers lives with someone in our department and that group will continue to have all the benefits and not held to the same standards you’re. Also you’re expected to do way more than the job offers. Sometimes you could be on a position for 2 maybe even 3 hours and when that’s something fun like a speech it’s fine but when you’re pressing a button in the dark for 2 hours it’s anything but fine. You also are expected to be able to do the new speeches without having a rehearsal of them first and management expect you to know all the new information without being given it for each feature. There’s a lot expected of you that isn’t in the job description. Also - you have an hour of unpaid lunch, which would be fine, but they’re robbing you of your time. Depending on what position you’re on you have to get to the break room first so you have to leave wherever you’re and then get all the way to the back of the building up 3 flights of stairs, get your bag out, and then go for lunch - by that time you’ve lost 5-10 mins and then you have to factor in getting back - another at least 5 - 10 mins lost so you get around half hour for lunch.

Bullying and management treats you like a number

Parking is far away from office

bad management, Bad Evaluation system and no room for growth
