Pros

RPS produces some of the best work in the industry and employs top talent. The producers, editors, freelancers, artists, etc are for the most part lovely. They are always hiring.

Cons

Not good for work/life balance. Very high stress. Poorly structured and managed from the top down. They burn out their employees and thus have high turnover in all positions. They are constantly firing and hiring rather than looking at what the root of the problems are. There are A LOT of egos that need stroking.

Pros

Free lunch, flexible schedule. Meet lots of cool people while working here. Great place to gain experience and boost your resume.

Cons

At times working here felt a bit cliquish. Also, from what I noticed there was little interest in advancing assistants to their roster. If you’re interested in finding a house where you can start from the bottom and make a roster in a efficient timeline I would not start with RPS. Nothing wrong with this, you just need to understand what comes with the territory when working here.

Pros

-Some opportunities to gain experience with the tools of the trade. -Located in the city, so commuting is manageable.

Cons

-Management is sneaky and manipulative. They prioritize their own interests over the well-being of their team, often leaving assistants out to dry. -Toxic culture. There's a general lack of support and encouragement; instead, you'll find plenty of undermining and finger-pointing. -Exploitation of staff. Editors and producers seem more interested in taking advantage of their assistants than mentoring them. -No pay. They expect long hours of hard work but fail to compensate fairly (or at all). -There are better post houses in the city that treat their staff with respect and professionalism.
