Pros

Lovely people on the teams, there are a lot of old timers there to learn about the history of the company and many of them are kind

Cons

Production staff are terribly underpaid. It seems the company lost a lot of its spirit when they were bought out. Leadership doesn’t seem to care about burning out staff both in artist and production, but especially production. You can’t afford the price to live in La with what they offer but they argue you should be in office most days. it’s all about that crunch. And if you don’t drink the cool-aid and say “everything is fine” while the office is on fire they get rid of you. The manager of the production staff shows favoritism and isn’t subtle about it

Pros

Family environment, for the most part. AMAZINGLY talented Artist

Cons

Low Pay, slow upward trajectory, with some employees being in the same position for YEARS?!! It's also high school 2.0 meaning lots of professional lines are crossed and one's private business is discussed like Wendy's Hot Topics. And it does affect a lot of things. Review system in prod mgmt is one way and should be 360. Meaning everyone on a team should be able to review one another, regardless of position.
