      For the temp employee, the job paid little and involved long hours and few perks.

      Pros

      The scale of what they are doing is incredible. The amount of work they do and the variety of work they do is amazing. It's a diverse place.

      Cons

      Job security can be low and minimal for entry level employees and temp workers. The pay is very low for them as well with few benefits that the salaried people have.

      DreamWorks was both an amazing place and an incredibly frustrating place to work

      Pros

      You get to work along side some of the smartest and most talented artists, animators, and technical professionals anywhere found in the industry.

      Cons

      Senior management is disconnected from the difficulties they create for production artists, by not reigning in indecisive "creatives" or they simply don't care as long as deadlines get met.
