Pros

The office is nice and the coworkers are generally passionate about fandoms. Youll learn quite a bit about different subcultures. Coworkers feel like friends

Cons

The hr department and the supervisors governing it are absolutely soul sucking. We are grossly understaffed and underpaid yet we are each asked to do the work of two or three typical hr staff member. Job descriptions and posting systems are routinely incorrect and often changed that candidates are left disappointed about what we are actually seeking in am employee.
