Pros

- Team members are friendly, talented individuals. - Good way to get your foot in the door. - Standard 9-5 business hours are nice.

Cons

- Upper management has a strong disconnect toward understanding what their employees do. - Upper management generally has no idea how to run a game studio as the majority of them have very little in way of experience. This leads to a lot of illogical requests, timelines and demands. - There's a lack of communication between different roles on a project. - Morale is extremely low due to several mass layoffs. - Projects are often launched without having been completed due to upper management's lack of organization and understanding of process; projects are often completely restarted half-way into production. - Hardware and much of the software is very out of date. - Salaries are well below industry average; directors often try to tell staff that there is no "industry standard", raises are small (1-3% cap, if at all) and bonuses are non-existant. - Benefit plans are designed for the warehouse workers, not for office workers; the company is too cheap to create two separate plans. The benefits are not horrible but they could stand for some significant improvement (ie: eye care is not covered). - There is a significant lack of documentation for projects; demands are often made straight from upper management and never recorded or thought through.

Pros

Good benefits, base plus commission so if you want more money you sell more. You get what you put in. Flexible schedule. Family type environment. Tools provided to provide great service, samples, no charge credit for us to allocate as needed to assist our customers.

Cons

I really don’t have any cons, after having my own businesses I think the ecxpectations are attainable.

Pros

Thorough training and onboarding, nice manager

Cons

Super low pay for job itself, commissions are low & and only are dispersed when product ships (which could be months), not autonomous, micromanaged, dress code of not wearing nice jeans didn’t make sense (meeting with retail stores not doctors), hand had to pay for iPad monthly insurance fee. I’ve had sales positions in the past and never had to pay any fees on equipment.
