VERY VERY stressful Work Environment; Public Peer Humiliation Tactics; Low pay; Not worth it! - Area Licensing Manager ASCAP Employee Review

They make you jump through 2 hoops to get paid. The base pay is at poverty level and there is no way you can live on that if you don't make commission for some reason. In order to receive monthly commission #1 You must meet your team revenue goals at 80%, but then you're only paid out at 10% split between all team members, which is nothing. You have to be 100% every month to receive a 20% payout or more. #2 You must meet a "license count" goal, which has absolutely nothing to do with revenue, making it hard to get compensated. This is a MAJOR monthly obstacle tied to your pay. For instance, you can be at 100% of your revenue (ASCAP GOT THEIR MONEY), but because you didn't meet a "license count", you still will not be paid. License count does not mean reaching 100% of your goal! If you have a goal of 32 licenses per month, but you got only 30 and you met your revenue goal at 80% or more, ASCAP will not pay you. Terrible team based pay structure; your pay is tied to the performance of others. If you meet your goals and another team member doesn't the team doesn't get paid. High level of stress to perform. One of the most stressful work environments you will ever encounter. I would hope that the members that ASCAP represents find out the fear based scare tactics that are used to bring money into the organization. I believe if the songwriters and music composers who ASCAP represents, knew the level of stress and emotional trauma that is passed down from the top to licensing managers all in the name of "music licensing", members would not want to be apart of this organization. I have never heard of an organization where the VP of licensing uses town square public humiliation to encourage performance. His tactics are to humiliate people to perform in front of their peers. He will send out monthly email about your performance and basically threaten your job if you don't perform; calls your performance "disgusting" constantly reminding you that you cost them money and are a liability if you didn't meet your monthly number. You will be told that you "didn't earn your keep" if you don't perform at 100%.
