Pros

over all good package or benefits

Cons

broad scope with multiple handlings

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.

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

Free air and bathroom. Sometimes see stars.

Cons

The worst manager and supervisor I have ever had, very low pay, no advancement chance, horrible and corrupt HR rep, GP.... The Pitbull.

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.

Pros

Internal mobility, less intense environment than tech film companies, lots of learning and dev opportunities

Cons

Pay slightly less than major streamers, but offer overtime for certain levels

Pros

Great people and fun atmosphere

Cons

Pay is lower than I’d like
