Horrible Place

Anonymous employee

Pros

If you don't mind harassment and being taken advantage of, it's a good place to get into various post production jobs.

Cons

Stu Weis is one of the worst people I have ever met. He is not interested in the creative and professional success of Studio City or its employees, but instead uses them as a target for his anger and childhood mommy issues (and moderately sexist and racist behavior) and your presence there will be an object to belittle and satisfy his urge to humiliate others.

Predatory, Demoralizing

Pros

Management is a bit clueless so you can actually carve out your own space so long as you don't mind being taken advantage of or berated at the emotional whims of management.

Cons

Extremely predatory. They hire people under the pretense of being a full-time job, then fire them without warning or ceremony when seasons end (even while gaining other clients). There is absolutely no promotion, bonus, loyalty, or raises offered. Even though I worked there for a long time I was refused even performance interviews or evaluations for raises, because they don't give them. The management foster a strange culture of personality, recrimination, and personal attacks, which is doubly unnerving with the personal events/celebrations. I was yelled at and shamed by the CEO when I put in my notice for putting in my notice. Most petty, they will celebrate people's birthdays, but only those who have been there for a long time and demonstrate the most brown-nosing. The other people you have to suffer with are often great, but they can also be just as difficult to work with as management. Creatively, it is also bankrupt, which often loses them clients, but they just don't seem to even care. Invitations to contribute creatively are just for show, doing so will get you on the bad side of the executives, and the receiving end of harassment, even though they asked for input.

Pros

They give young people opportunity to take the reigns with a lot of responsibility... Could, in rare occasions, be very beneficial for right candidate. It also helps if you are a favorite of theirs. Their supporting team, HR, business dept etc are great people

Cons

CEO and president play favorites regardless of your competency. If they don't like you you're DONE. I have had a first hand experience of the nasty things upper management (CEO and President) say about their employees. Really malicious and set you up for failure. If you're female... Not the best vibe from the president.
