Pros
Being on the Warner Bros. lot is an excellent experience in itself. A great opportunity to learn the industry and departments.
Cons
Security managers have their favorites which are usually chosen from new training classes. Receiving work hours can be challenging at times due to department cliques that are exclusively assigned better positions and other hours assigned to department favorites.
Advice to Management
Be of use, try to make things better for all instead of yourself. Every officer represents the department and the company as a whole.

"Great perks, long hours, no work life balance"

RecommendsNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Warner Bros. full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
GREAT PERKS: free clothes, costumes, phone cases, toys, comic books, CDs, DVDs, movie tickets, free screenings while working, seeing all the cool things being made before it comes out, tickets to comic con, toy fair, amazing kitchen with snacks, great custodial cleaners, amazing friendly welcoming colleagues.
GREAT BENEFITS & BONUSES: good dental, medical, vision. Good end of the year bonuses and 1.5-3% raises every year.
PROMOTIONS: you can move up pretty fast within the company.
GREAT BOSSES: VPs, EVPs, and SVPs, are kind, approachable, flexible, and open minded. They listen to our concerns, ideas, and strategies and sometimes implement them. It's the management above them that is problematic.
GREAT COLLEAGUES: they are patient, friendly, and train you well. It's an environment where you're not thrown into the fire and it's okay to make a mistake without getting your head bitten off or being scolded. It promotes teamwork and growth.Cons
NO WORK LIFE BALANCE: Long hours, sometimes 10-12 hours, sometimes later. You work on your vacation days as people call or email you.
LAYOFFS: too many lay off at the bottom. Layoffs happen every year and half to two years.
THE RESULT: It demoralizes the team and changes the dynamic in the office. Everyone is always on edge. We are now understaff and overworked since there is less people.Advice to Management
1) Stop pretending WB is Marvel or are as good.
2) Fire the top guys not the people at bottom. Fire the guys who are making the bad decisions, green lighting bad films that are expected to make money but don't.
3) Don't over project how much a film is going to make. Be honest in expectations especially with DC Films. Honest with yourselves and honest with the teams who work hard to market them.
4) Don't over spend on films. Spending $250M on films to only break even.
5) Use other properties besides Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. There are over 100 characters to choose from from DC Properties and Vertigo.Warner Bros. 2019-02-04 22:55 PST![Warner Bros. Logo]()
