      Pros

      Great place to work, smart and energetic people, beautiful campus

      Cons

      Compensation is well below national average, hopefully made up for by quality of work/life. Projects can be kind of discouraging, TD role is mostly putting out fires in the eleventh hour which will inevitably need to be solved again on the next show.

      Pros

      The community! The people are fantastic. Most everyone at the studio loves their job and therefore loves to work with everyone else who loves their job. Amazing feats get accomplished everyday because everyone is bought into their commitment.

      Cons

      Work has been very unsteady since 2013. Major lay-offs and a whole closure of the northern studio has many feeling insecure about the longevity of the studio. Also, there is a huge jump in salary. If you are in the entry-level through Prod Sup category, you don't get paid much. As soon as you jump over into upper management (if you can - there aren't many opportunities) the pay is extraordinarily higher. It's a very top heavy studio.
