Pros

Excellent work-life balance and a very warm, friendly team environment. The manager is supportive and always willing to guide and help. I learned a lot professionally during my time here and gained valuable experience. The staff discount is amazing — I could buy lots of great books at very low prices. Overall, it is a comfortable, respectful, and positive place to work.

Cons

Career progression can be slower compared to some fast-paced corporate environments. Some processes may feel stable rather than fast-changing, which may not suit everyone.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
