Up until recently, it was a highly exciting place to work with the ability to work with and learn new technologies.  Working with other departments on standards particular to security best practices was rewarding.  I work with a team that is pleasant and friendly and enjoyed working with them in different projects. I was able to work with different technologies as it was open across my team and we would be wearing many hats particular to the day to day.  This made it extremely fund to go to work.  It would be noted that growth now has become  slow in our department and we have moved into a more structured and compartmentalized reporting structure where ownership is isolated.  This has taken away the ability to be elastic to the needs of projects and leveraging the talents of other security members.  And I have lost the ability to learn through being a part owner of different technologies.  From this new experience, I am looking to find a work place that has that same mid size workflow of being able to wear many hats and work with many challenges.

The Liaison position required me to answer any and all emails, questions, concerns and when needed I would go upstairs to assistants the assistants or the agents.  The Liaison team would train all new assistants on how to enter all new booking reports based off of the contracts of new deals and organization of the office they were assigned to.  I would have agent meetings to make sure that all money was correct and that no invoices needed to be sent out, followed up on or booking reports that were paid in full and could be closed.  We went to all of our department agent meeting and would make sure that all new deals were entered into booking reports.  The most enjoyable part of my position was working hand and hand with the agents to make sure that all deals were in order.

Great work environment, great perks, interns don't receive much guidance or information from management (simple things such as payroll and time submission requirements). People are passive aggressive,

Work in the same office with amazing agents which is cool. You get to have video conference meetings with company partners which is VERY motivating and inspiring!

Assistants can be brutal. Throw all their work off on you without any regard for the responsibilities you already have. They can also be inconsiderate with the tasks they ask you to do but they feel it shouldn't matter, you're the intern.

There's a lack of direction and mentorship for interns. I think that's very important and expected in an internship.

Overall it's what you make it. Be ready to kiss a lot of butt if you want to advance!

I’ll start by saying that CAA is a great company to work at. Anything in my rating/review that falls at below a 3 is subjective to my experience and my career aspirations. I’m a creative person, naturally more interested in the creative production of art rather than the business behind it. I worked at CAA to take a look behind the curtain. I’ve seen enough with my experience here to know that it’s not for me. BUT if you are genuinely more interested in the BUSINESS of entertainment, then this is definitely where you want to be. There people here that genuinely want to help you, so long as you make it known what you want. I’m thankful for my time here. It just didn’t quite align with what I was looking to learn (mainly refinement of creative skills). 

Coordinating w staff to get contracts issued, returned and fully executed.  Daily reporting to get clients paid.  Interviewing future staff, training new hires.  Assisting agents with their staffing and office needs.  Reviewed processes to streamline and save money.
As a manager I was not supervised.  Company relies on a team effort to compete in the entertainment world.  The hardest part of my job was having to terminate personnel.   The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to hire applicants and help them to advance their careers. Proudest moments were when my hires were promoted to agent.

CAA is the best talent agency in the world, some would argue, because it is run by extremely smart, innovative and ambitious people.  While working as an Assistant to book agent I learned almost everything I needed to know about the industry.  My co-workers were bright and ambitious and the flow of knowledge and information was more never-ending.  The absolute hardest part of this job was understanding the nuances of the industry and grasping that information is currency. My boss was very classy and brilliant and any mistakes I made were quickly addressed and corrected.

Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is the world’s leading entertainment and sports agency, representing many of the most successful professionals working in film, television, music, video games, theater, and digital content, and provides a range of strategic marketing and consulting services to corporate clients. CAA is also a leader in sports, representing more than 800 of the world’s top athletes in football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis, and golf, and works in the areas of broadcast rights, corporate marketing, licensing, and sports properties for sales and sponsorship opportunities.

Stressful working environment(s) depending on the department. Great benefits and company health care packages. Some Agents and staff can be difficult. Great knowledge can be obtained about the entertainment industry if desired. I was able to learn under the Michael Ovitz philosophy of how to run a company. Company changed ownership and direction in the later years of my tenure. Still have great memories after working there for 12 years.

CAA is a great company to learn at. It's the top agency in the world to the knowledge there is plentiful. If you're trying to be an agent or work your way up the corporate ladder this is definitely a place I'd recommend you try and get into.  I worked there for ten months and it was equivalent to a full graduate program. There are a lot of big shots there and people who are full of themselves, but that comes second to all the great people who work for the company.

Worked closely with multiple clients in different tier markets. Ran the biggest market successfully for three years. Client was challenging to work with but managed to build a great relationship. 

Learned to adjust to client needs and in office requests. Worked closely with Supervisor to achieve market goals. Best part of the job was the friendships made from them and the knowledge I took from each market.
