Pros

Fun Halloween party! Most people are nice. Good benefits.

Cons

Pay is low. Things are changing and the company is getting leaner. You need to network and brown nose to get anywhere. Just doing your work is not going to get you anywhere.

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.
