Pros

You learn things fast. Lots of people around you to teach you what you don't know (which might be a lot!) Exposure to equipment and employee discounts. Networking with other photographers and filmmakers. Good pay and opportunities to make commission!

Cons

A lot of the guys that have been there forever act like it's still the 80s. You'll hear a good amount of inappropriate and misogynistic comments. Tensions tend to be high amongst staff. Coworkers act like friends but all talk about each other behind their backs.

Pros

parking spot provided air conditioned rooms, some of the people working in different departments are friendly.

Cons

WARNING If you work in Purchasing you will be micromanaged to the point of it being a hostile environment. OCD bosses that feel the need to point out miniscule errors in your work while completely dismissing their own larger errors. Didn't provide time to train or to instruct....you will create your own notes, and when asking questions about conflicting information you will get in trouble. You will get in trouble for clocking in a minute early your first week (not joking) HR is disinterested in actually explaining benefits or paperwork. Your emails related to your own work load will not be answered or your requests will be ignored.

Pros

Great employee discounts and free rentals after 90 days.

Cons

Overwhelmed staff with no sense of project flow or management. Dated systems with no desire to upgrade. Many people in upper level positions making decisions that have no experience dealing with high level decision making. Many workers simply, "Burned out with no desire to make things better".
