Pros

The 401(k) matching is great. Warner Bros matches, dollar for dollar (100%), up to 7% of your 6% contribution. PTO is also good. First year of hire is 2 weeks of vacation, and that goes to 3 weeks starting your second year. There are also 3 floating holidays, and depending on the department, 3 full summer days off (or 6 half days in the summer), and potentially a paid company shut down between Christmas and New Year's Day. At WB, you also get 100% of your pay for six weeks for maternity/paternity leave, which is not bad, considering that most companies don't pay a dime for this leave. Great people to work for/with (at least in my experience), but that is dependent on your department.

Cons

If you're in finance or accounting, work-life balance at WB is not be all that great. During monthly and quarterly close periods, and also quarterly forecast periods, you can be doing an average of 60 hours per week (some weeks more). Their IT systems are antiquated and not up to industry standards, which also contribute to the increased hours. As far as salary goes, it's below industry average (i.e., at least when compared to NBC and Disney).
