Pros

zero pros to say about this place

Cons

My opinion. There are reviews for two different things here: 1 Reviews for working on an IATSE Local 891 film or television production in roles such as lighting technician, carpenter, set dresser. Can't speak to these other than regularly working very long hours doesn't sound like it would be good for the soul. 2 The others are for working in the IATSE Local 891 office. For this I repeat what someone else already said here: simply toxic.
