    Pros

    They make you join the union for admin which is actually great

    Cons

    Will NEVER give a raise other than the standard that the union demands and so you need to negotiate up front and use your boss’s power to leverage higher pay.

    Living In Fear With No Personal Life

    Dec 18, 2022 - Administrative Assistant 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The pay was better than most studios. Working with other assistants your age was also cool!

    Cons

    This studio runs on fear. HR has a habit of doing nothing with employee complaints and they would rather just pay people off to quit. Nevertheless, there are several departments with toxic management meanwhile the assistants work their butts off and get things done only to be scolded 24/7. There's no work life balance, and there's never accountability for upper management even though they are the cause to the unhappiness in the company. Oh, and expect your overtime to be cut since there's so many politics here. Execs know you're busting in hours, but will stay silent to make sure their department doesn't get into any trouble. It's a trickle down effect where amateur, in denial directors and VPs are scared to stand up to the unprofessional and childish heads of their department, yet they eventually become as unhappy and toxic. You feel so drained at the end of the day, where making movies or shows is far from your passion anymore. The true definition of unhealthiness and delusion.

    Pros

    -Good place to start in the entertainment industry -Good quality of life

    Cons

    -Yes man/woman capitol -What do you think? Is a trap question meant to make you feel involved but really means 'tell me how great my idea is' -cookie cutter ideas passed down from others -movement to hire primarily hire either women or minorities or preferably both -they bomb every year on the question if they invest in their employees...and they hide it and highlight other areas of the survey -management engages in an ongoing woke competition -they don't hire within. Been there over 10 years and never had an interview where other studios have granted opportunities for the same positions.
