How employees describe working at ASCAP
Service and the industry connections
Very highly respect work life balance
ASCAP has long been the good ol boys club. Efforts were made to change this but the VP of licensing is the main problem and his boss isn't involved at all. Lots of favoritism of young white males on mid-level promotions. Sexual harassers get promoted not fired (VPs). Whistle-blowers get blacklisted.
Collecting money for songwriters gives me a sense of purpose
