Concord Music Group, Inc.

Not every place is perfect but this company is a great way to start as an intern to the music industry. My boss was the Senior Paralegal and she was an absolute charm. The office had snacks, the people were all very friendly and loved to recommend me for opportunities within the company, and were constantly complimenting me and praising me for my work. I never felt such at home within a place of work, they even took me out for my birthday, and the saddest part (well only sad part) of my experience was knowing I was only a temp so the position would inevitably end.

The executives (all white male) and top level management can be very detached from the majority of the employees in the company, starting at the salary percentages. Concord and the music industry as a whole push the agenda to underpay, overwork and not promote employees quite regularly. Concord specifically does this fun thing where, if you do your job well, you also get to do someone else's job for no additional pay or title increase. You basically have to threaten to leave the company by way of getting another offer in order to get promoted/given a raise.

As a royalties intern, I analyzed and organized more than 2000 blues, folk, rock, funk, soul, classical and jazz artists' files containing historic documents, dating from 1920 to 2006, from recently acquired labels. 

Everyone I worked with, both in my department and others, took every opportunity they could to welcome me, be kind, and to help educate me. 

Great company - managed well, amazing workplace culture.

Hardest Part - the monotony of doing a similar task everyday
Most Enjoyable Part - The company culture

I enjoyed working at Concord Music Group.  Getting to hear and experience legends at work before the masses was inspiring.  As a publicist seeing and hearing their creativity and passion for music funneled to my everyday pitching.  Plus I was so lucky to work with an amazing cast of characters on the marketing team.

Your experience will vary based on your supervisor but my team was badly micromanaged and overworked while being paid very poorly (mandatory minimum for overtime exempt employees, in my case. I know some people who were kept on as “temps” in independent contractor roles for years even though they were in reality full fledged employees).

Colleagues are kind and helpful. The growth the company has experienced over the last several years makes it difficult to grasp the different areas of the company sometimes. Workload is definitely high. 

You'd feel the differences between employees and contractors. Some companies you wouldn't feel this. But it's ok. The project that I was at, was challenging. That's good. Most of the projects are performance tuning, and data warehouse, data cubes of financial systems.

If you're temp they act like you don't exist. There is no place for advancement. No pay raises.They promise you a position at the end of the year just tell you in the end that they dont have a budget to open a new position

I loved working there. Everyone is great to work with. You don't know who is going to walk through the front door. Being in Beverly Hills is a great location because something is always going on.
