Good Company - Administrative Assistant WME Employee Review

Work w/ the best talent around.

Busy year-round, always on-call. Have to always be ready to get stuff done for your client.

You get brand recognition that entertainment people care about Exposure to top talent and celebrities Fast-paced environment forces you to learn quickly Assistants understand how the business actually moves

Culture still operates on outdated “pay your dues” mentality Constant stress, long hours, and unpredictable workload treated as normal Very little structure, training, or process — you’re expected to figure everything out instantly Compensation does not match workload or cost of living Career growth internally depends more on politics than performance Leadership often lacks transparency on promotions, lateral moves, and development Exit opportunities are far more limited than people assume, and overwhelmingly concentrated inside entertainment; if you want to pivot out, it’s on you Limited psychological safety; mistakes are high-stakes and public Turnover is high, especially among assistants
