Pros
MN Studios are independently owned and operated. Many of the reviews here with high ratings, are from MN studios NOT Corp. Office in Los Angeles. MN had a few pros, but not many. At the time (2014) they offered .25 cent lunch, free breakfast, onsite dental office, and pretty good insurance ($200/ per month for family of 4). That was about it. From time to time you could purchase discounted product from the employee store, but only when it was open. The owner only trusted 1 or 2 people to run the store, so when they couldn't open the store, it remained closed.
Cons
Oh the Cons, the Cons. Put your running shoes on and run away from the MN Corp job posting as fast as you can! This place has NO respect for their employees! Let's start with pay. You will be paid well BELOW the industry average, and when you did get a raise it was 1%; yep 1%. What a joke! We live in CA and we couldn't even get a cost of living increase annually. There is a total snitching mentality at MN Corp. You have a few employees that LIVE to run and tell the big boss everything they see. If you pick your nose, Helen and her goons will know! Employees are talked down to, like they are children. HR doesn't have a clue what they are doing.They don't believe in digital advertising. Directors and managers are scared to speak up in fear of the backlash. Employees that work with studio owners daily, suggestions to improve areas of concern are totally discredited. They will pay tons of $$$$ to brown nose with USC Alum, and take care of their fancy car collection, but will not invest to MN. ....and the list goes on and on and on. If you can help it, don't waste your time with this place. It's a ticking time bomb. If you must work here, plan your exit strategy on your first day!
