Pros
Co workers are very friendly
Cons
My advice would be to apply elsewhere. This company is very poorly managed, and is in bad financial shape (I have been told by current employees that they have used layoffs in large numbers over the past many months in order to try to stem bleeding since having bought Modern Video Film).. At one time this company had many facilities in New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and NUMEROUS in Los Angeles. Although the industry has its own problems (shrinking wages, main companies taking post work 'in house', etc.) that has caused the company to shrink, Point.360's management and financial decision making has made the company's circumstances MUCH worse than they need to be - currently it appears they are in a bad shape, with employees looking to jump ship. Whatever terrible financial moves Point.360 makes, they end up sticking it to employees in order to sweep bad financial moves under the rug - this usually happens by outright layoffs and another favorite, paycuts, Over the years they have made massive money pit decisions like creating a dead end spin off business (Movie Q) which is essence an attempt to recreate the market that companies like Red Box had already well cornered. Another was the pricey purchase of building on Vine in Hollywood than languished for years before finally selling it off 'as is', not even using it to generate revenue. Those are just a couple VERY costly examples, and there are more. As for the management, there is a VERY weird dynamic between facilities - apparently acting as 'one company', however, when you look closer, each facility's GM's are locked into a sort of constant skirmish with each other. Not the most productive tone to set, and this coming from the people who should be settling an example for the employees. Sales team is completely inept, often undercharging jobs so low that, taken as a whole, the company looses money, without any ability to bring much new quality revenue in. This is just the Point.360 way, and many employees have joked that this is where the name comes from- a company jut running in circles, with enough key people placed and maintainged (due to company politics, that the company will just go nowhere. In fact, over the years, its been failing, not even just 'maintaining'. Lately the CFO even stepped down - surely not a sign of a healthy, growing, functioning company. Not to mention all of the people who have left or been laid off since th latest financial misstep - purchasing Modern Video Film!! I think the company has had its largest number of layoffs since that has happened. So, yes, just be warned. If you DO apply, and are hired, they will likely lowball you with an offer, and raises / bonuses are completely nonexistant - at this point it seems they are in 'slash and burn' mode in order to try to keep the company going. They favor paycuts to employees before any form of raise. Many of these things I hear from current employees.
