    Pros

    YG Entertainment USA - You will get to experience all kind of negative factors that could happen in life. - You will have plenty time to think about your life. - You will be either conquered by toxic people or learn how to handle negativity.

    Cons

    YG Entertainment USA - More than half of the employees left this place within 1-2 years. "People don't leave bad companies. They leave bad leaders" - Marcus Buckingham - Upper management has no idea what they are doing. No vision. - Surprisingly lots of employees and YG Artists from YG HQ in Korea DO NOT KNOW YG USA's existence.

    Cons

    Upper management has no idea what they're doing and don't care about their employees. Expects employees to follow orders without explanation.
