Pros

It's easy going, you can go the whole day and not talk to anyone. The work is extremely boring but allows you to think of other things.

Cons

It's boring, There's no incentives. They don't accommodate at all and you walk all day on concrete. DEI.

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.
