Pros
Pay, diversity of camera equipment
Cons
The work-life flexibility became crushing. For years they hired photographers and allowed them to clock in and out when they needed to- as long as work and metrics were turned in. That's fair. What is unfair is not allowing people any flexibility to make their own schedule, even if the same amount of metrics are hit. People have lives. They have children and obligations outside of work- and they can still be outstanding employees. Costar needs to let these people thrive and have flexibility. Turn in your work, no problem. Grown adults shouldn't be monitored by what exact hours they worked. If the metrics are hit then let that be the final say. Allow employees some breathing room with work-life balance. Do not preach on conference calls about being happy that costar is a place where people can have babies and become parents, all while taking flexibility away. It's hypocritical and hitting the morale of the photographers deeply.
