Productive, calm place to work
Sales and Marketing Intern (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 24, 2013
I enjoyed interning at UMG and I learned a lot about the music business. Management was encouraging but some of the employees could be a little cold. Overall I had a great time interning and would do it all over again if given the chance.

Great fun people to work with, great atmosphere
Sales (Current Employee), Universal City, CA – April 2, 2013
Pros: friday morning music presentations 30mins-1 hour paid and includes breakfast
It's a great energetic place to work but the company could use some restructuring in certain departments. Every friday morning there is a presentation/meeting where we screen new videos and listen to live music from up and coming artists. Overall it's a great place to work but there is room for improvement.

No growth or common respect
Label Marketing Representative (Former Employee), New York, NY – January 19, 2013
Pros: abiity to work in the arts
Cons: compensation, advancement, encouragement, respect
VEry fun atmosphere to work in if your just starting out in the buisness however there was a great miss with the company where there was no room for advancement from the senior staff. In addition there was no respect given to the reps on the ground level. work load would increase 10 fold but compensation and reward were not pressent.

Great place to work and achieve success with our artists.
Account Manager (Former Employee), London, OH – October 31, 2012
Pros: just being left to get on with your work.
Cons: trying to gain an even playing field with high st / on line prices.
Fast moving industry with major changes everyday.
Co workers were all hardworking and we all pulled together to ensure results.
Hardest part of the job was sudden changes to record release dates, artist schedules, as this would disrupt a campaign.

Hands down a great place to work
Internship (Former Employee), Burbank, CA – June 14, 2012
Pros: hands on work environment, great leadership, outstanding work environment
Cons: distance
Interning at Universal was a great experience. Typically, a day at work consist of an open schedule between 9am to 5pm. There i learned how to set up a fully functional recording studio and learned the marketing side of the music business. Management there was great! They stayed on top of us and were very motivating and so were the co workers. The most – more... enjoyable part of this particular job was being able to do something that i love, which is music, and get paid for it. – less
