Pros

Ample opportunity to improve processes and learn new skill sets. Ability to move within the company after 14-24 months, depending on desired move. Gain insights into broadcast, film, production, and 'backlot' processes in entertainment industry. Some perks, such as employee discounts, ability to view films in advance of release date, and gym facility (on the Universal Studio lot).

Cons

- IMLP internship 'graduates' are given carte blanche into management roles without real experience and are not allowed to fail, even if they cannot deliver or perform, as blame for the failure will be shifted to others. - Most IMLP under-performers are never terminated, only shifted from department to department to keep the statistics of the program appealing to executive management. - Finger-pointing instead of root cause and corrective actions to process issues. - Neoptism of 'cliques' instead of focusing on performance and REAL achievement. - Individuals that perform well and promote collaboration are seen as threats to mid- and upper management. - Formal training (some required for promotion to management) reserved for select few, even if you offer to pay for the formal training yourself. - Long hours are frequent due to poor planned, which is passed-down from higher management.

Pros

Driven employees, excellent location, good perks. This being a major corporation, there is no shortage of quality business resources and opportunities.

Cons

While an overall comfortable workplace, my particular department was made up of money-minded individuals who had less-than-satisfactory organizational and communication skills.
