Twentieth Century Fox Reviews

Pros

Central location, good commissary, nice benefits package.

Cons

Has become a corporate conglomerate since Rupert Murdoch took over, with less comradery and pride of ownership than before.

Advice to Senior Management

Concentrate on higher level product on Fox Television, and allow more upward career growth from within.

Pros

The dry cleaners is great and the prepaid lunch cards are pretty cool and convenient for quick payments and discounts. There are several opportunities to donate to charitable organizations. Benefits and paid days off are comparable to most other major studios.

Cons

Known for being one of the lowest, if not the lowest paying studio in the entertainment industry. There is not a lot of room for growth and many people hold their same position/titles for quite some time. The corporate culture is very challenging and there is not much executive support in terms of being empowered to make decisions or taking ownership of your job responsibilities.

Micromanaging and disrespect are not effective management tools. Value your employees.
