      I worked at Warner Bros. part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Lot access
      Early screenings
      Great people
      Employee discounts
      Great environment for the most part

      Cons

      Hours are inconsistent
      Outdated POS system
      Senior management sometimes doesn't understand retail.

      Advice to Management

      Sometimes implemented sales strategies put unnecessary burden on employees.
      Figure out how to make parking shift more efficient.

      Pros

      Great company overall especially early on in your career. Lots of benefits and networking opportunities and awesome content.

      Cons

      Entrenched management focused on themselves and not the company.

      Advice to Management

      Better alignment of incentives to unblock the potential of this great brand.

      I have been working at Warner Bros. full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great atmosphere, there are people from many different cultures and lifestyles and the company really embraces the diversity as well as unity. The benefits are amazing and the work hours are decent for a work life balance. The studio lot is huge and offers things like an employee gym as well as great places to eat or just relax. People that work here tend to retire here.

      Cons

      None. Every department is different I'm sure but for the most part if there is an issue you know who to go to and they take care of it in a timely manner. Not really a con but it is super hard to get on the lot or the there buildings without your badge, best security around.... so if you lose your badge ask for a new one ASAP! Your old one will be deactivated upon you reporting it lost/stolen so if you do find it, it won't work. But these are good measures to take.

      Advice to Management

      Keep having an open door policy, embracing diversity and providing a great, friendly and inviting atmosphere. Never seen so many smiles in one day from people I don't even know fully... yet.

      - Respect for Employees
      - Studio-wide employee events
      - Working on a Historic Studio Lot

      Pros

      Great Benefits with great pay! Warner bros is a great place to work for. A real professional environment. They treat their employees better than most productions. Everyone is a family and helps each other out when they can. Fast smooth pace for everyone

      Cons

      Same routine and no room to move up. Not to many bad cons but maybe notice more of the creativity from different employees

      I worked at Warner Bros. full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      The lot, introduction to movies, fun atmosphere for the most part, celeb sightings

      Cons

      the pay such, the hours can get pretty long or very short depending on the season and the union you are forced to join is not really very helpful.

      Advice to Management

      Those work pants are the worst! the uniform is outdated.

      I worked at Warner Bros. (More than a year)

      Pros

      I've worked at the Telepictures division of Warner Bros on several projects. My experience has always been positive. Their management style allows for creativity and autonomy!

      Cons

      Only con is that I'm not currently working there!

      I worked at Warner Bros. (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Great visibility into the variety of businesses that really make hollywood run-- from films to tv to gaming to consumer products and more.

      Cons

      Bloated and lethargic executive team that is out of touch with their core staff, rapidly changing business models, and consumer tastes.

      Advice to Management

      Be more nimble. Take more risks. Appreciate the intelligence of your younger staffers before they all leave.

      Pros

      Great benefits, good overall company culture.

      Cons

      Depending on what department you're in, culture can vary widely. Finance departments could use some sprucing up.

      I worked at Warner Bros. full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      The perks are nice. Not as great as the other entertainment company next door, but we have free movie screenings on the lot. Walking around the studio was always fun, driving the golf carts, passing by productions being filmed and bumping into the occasional celebrity.

      Cons

      Very Corporate. Not open to change. We had an employee survey and the results were pretty abysmal. Half of my team left the year I was there because there wasn't much work .

      Advice to Management

      Take the survey to heart. When employees say they are unsatisfied and the company isn't open to change, listen and make changes to improve.
