Pros

Decent pay, great people, steady work if they like you. Depending on the production you're on it can be really great.

Cons

Other people weren't so lucky with pay and had difficulty getting raises. Sometimes you work on teams that are awful. It really comes down to the team you're on. It's also impossible to climb ranks. You have to leave and come back, or have already been doing the job you want to be promoted in for months.

Pros

The people, they were amazing . The talent they had from the animation community was top notch ( for the most part) The shows were solid but talent wasn’t able to flex their muscles to the best of their ability. Their last few CG and 2D productions were amongst their best. After wrapping their final show this summer it will be just licensing and sales. Corus would rather not invest in scripted programming.

Cons

The pay for the 10 years I was there was below par. The company coasted on its reputation. It dipped its toe in YouTube but never pursued it . More initiative should have been given to short form content, TicTock, YouTube etc. streaming content and legacy characters.
