Just don't

Pros

Most co-workers are friendly and talented.

Cons

Management mixed up deadlines, creeping scope, ignoring the complainants/concerns of employees. No overtime compensation, working an 80 weeks means nothing to them and they expect it. Poor communication and massive communication delays. Low compensation and moral(when I left). Not enough people to fill all the jobs needed.

Pros

-Employers fuel excitement and interest in employees about potential projects. -Employers attract great talent initially.

Cons

-Many potential projects do not come to fruition. -Irregular, incomplete, or no payment for work. -Marital status has been a factor in pay decisions to employees. -Poor retention rate for talented employees. -Few agreements in writing and many broken verbal agreements. -Projects advertised on website are not real or accurately presented. -Feature length film hasn't progressed past concept art, to pitch to investors, since company began. -Employers routinely take extended lunch breaks, or are absent for part/whole days without communicating to employees needing input or feedback on projects.

Disappointing experience all around

Pros

Some of the employees were great while I was there

Cons

*Long periods where we didn't get paid. Sometimes a couple weeks late and sometimes multiple months late. *Always pressured to work late and train in new jobs even when we hadn't paid for months, it was never enough. Toxic environment *Tried to use personal work for their own advantage on a consistent basis *Tried to insert themselves into my freelance projects for other clients while I was out of work with Moondog.

Dear Former MD Concept Artist. I am sorry that you did not have a positive experience while employed with MD. It is true that the company went through a bumpy start-up phase from Jan 2017 to February 2018. Although that feels like just yesterday, MD is now a growing small business. Since joining the company in April 2018, we have not experienced any of the issues you mentioned above. Thank you for your comments and to opportunity to respond.
