      Pros

      You get to work with smart, fun, and caring people that genuinely love what they do. It's also cool to have Summer Fridays (offices close at 12:30pm on Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day).

      Cons

      Promotions are rare. It's also publishing, so the pay isn't that great.

      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.
