Pros

Benefits, vacation, holiday and personal time are very good. Work environment could be better but I would not consider it bad. Things are changing fast and it seems mostly for the better so it could be a very exciting time to be an employee of this new merged company

Cons

Pay rates are not the best and bonuses are hardly anything. Large company so change can be counterproductive at times and flexibility is not possible like in a smaller company

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.
