Rollickin' Reviews

Unrealistic Deadlines. Long working hours .Expect to work 10 hours a day , and have to show up to work on most Saturdays as well . Way below industry average pay. Poor Studio facilities, no internet etc Lack of Space , half of the studio is warehouse where you will be constantly bombarded by unwanted noise from the workers. Delay in Salary. Director/Owner who doesn't know animation, give confusing feedback , and blames artist and bully them when deadline is extended . High turnover rate, every month some artist leave , causing low morale and disruption in workflow and teamwork.

If you're first starting out into this field, I suggest to either start somewhere else or stay here for no longer than 6 months and leave (1 year MAX but I don't recommend it) You will not be respected or treated well here (unless you have extensive experience and knowledge but if you already do have knowledge then you should go elsewhere and recognize your worth) Abysmal monetary compensation considering how much you work No polished animatic. (I didn't know what movie I was working on until I pieced things together after month 3 or 4.) Lacks work-life balance (Expect to work 10 hr days and half day saturdays unless it's a public holiday which is far and in between) Lacks organization and consistency No initial training or introduction to new recruits Treated like dispensable and uses accusatory, degrading language to make you feel at fault and doubt your own capabilities Compared to artists with over 10+ years experience Unrealistic expectations/deadlines Inquires about inappropriate subject matter and presses until he gets a "acceptable" response Brings up personal life and happenings in an attempt to psychologically degrade and depreciate your work efforts and capabilities Manipulates people into doing things that are beyond the job description for the sake of a lower budget and then proceeds to become infuriated when it doesn't go his way. EXPECT being in his office for 1.5 hrs for virtually nothing. No over-time pay/No PTO He lies about having investors such as Disney to be interested or willing to invest when really his investors mainly comes from his father's successful camera business and wealthy associates (aka. Daddy's friends or potential illegal ventures. who knows? the whole business is pretty shady) Will make inappropriate comments about your body and inference interests on your physical appearance. Will try to turn people from your team against you in an attempt to shame you into working more/harder to gain approval Does not provide visa immediately so many people work here illegally until it's approved or have to travel to Macau in order to activate the visa.
