Pros

Can be flexible with salary and has great artists

Cons

You and your team will be notified of deadlines the day before and you will be expected to hit it. In my time there I have seen talented artists and great management come and go either because they spoke up to shady practices by upper management, they were set up to fail, or they were tired of contributing to the toxic studio culture. Artists are reprimanded because of issues from other departments and they would rather terminate workers than to address systematic issues that are plaguing the production when it is brought up. The show I'm on is really fun but because there is a lot of stone walling between departments, its really injuring the artists. There is no open communication and many are afraid to speak up because of recent terminations to those that have done so.

Pros

Great looking show and decent location.

Cons

The reason I decided to write this review is the infuriating review bashing any criticism and denying that anything is wrong with the company. This was without a doubt written by the management / family and only illustrates their level of delusion. I have worked for many studios over the years and am no stranger to crunch-times, but when crunch-time becomes the norm then it's time for reflection. Considering a crazy schedule, extreme stress, mandatory unpaid overtime and no time for social life "normal" is very, very, very sad and speaks volumes about the reviewer.
