Pros

Good pay for a starting editor, the availability of bonuses, fun office to work in, great work environment, great place to stay if you can get it. Well run editing department, and a lot of really talented young people.

Cons

Poor upper management who have no experience or understanding of the film industry. Expectation that you should work for free to earn the chance to be paid.
