Pros

You can work remote, and your coworkers are quite nice, but unfortunately the turnover rate is so high, that the people you get familiar with are gone constantly and changed. It's rare to see anyone last more than a few months.

Cons

The owner is beyond abusive and aggressive. Everything you do, you are treading on eggshells. It's a job you take as a day by day job, as you have no security at all. I've seen people get fired over a basic error or miscommunication on the work messaging board. If you are a contractor who has other sources of income, this can work, but you will need to be mentally strong, and capable of dealing with abuse from the owner all the time, knowing anytime you login could be your last. You won't really get a warning, you'll simply wake up one day and no longer be able to access the system. Some people are not paid either. Anyone that has an opinion against what the owner wants will be shut down and fired. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they just need a temporary job.

Pros

- Remote -Work in anime industry

Cons

- Absurd internal requirements - Constantly required to be available (even outside your timezone) - Owner doesn't respect any employees - High turn-over rate, owner fires people constantly This company is such a toxic work environment. You try your hardest to get everything done, but then you get completely destroyed for asking a question. You tend to work with a skeleton crew making any large projects impossible to accomplish on time and the end product doesn't meet the unrealistic standard that the owner wanted. He (the owner) name calls all his employees and regularly talks negatively about his customers. Just an absolute depressing and soul crushing work environment. Anyone with actual talent tends to leave pretty quickly due to the extreme stress and walking on eggshells around the owner. You never know when he might fire someone just because they logged into a meeting 1 minute late. Stay away from this company!
