Pros

Great colleagues, access to books and events

Cons

Takes advantage of people’s passions… why pay you properly or treat you like a human when they’re *letting you* work for them? Gross management practices, ego comes first. Will completely overwork and burn you out then toss you aside if you refuse to kiss the ring. Suck up to your manager, try not to rock the boat, do anything new, or ask for help and you’ll be just fine.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
