Pros

Some of the best artists and employees to work with. Good benefits (health, dental, etc..) Decent pay for the area Great location in Deep Ellum

Cons

Top management only cares about themselves and their 'bro-culture'. Terrible creative decisions which has made the company struggle to stay afloat causing repeated rounds of layoffs for artists.. Outsourcing to Canada is their new 'idea' on how to make the company profitable. They try to do Pixar/Disney level quality with 20% of the budget and only end up hurting the artists Communication is non-existent

Pros

Reel FX offers a range of roles from getting your foot in the door to the industry to working with directors creating feature film animations. While I was there, everyone I worked with were the most wonderful and talented people I’ve ever met.

Cons

I don’t contribute this to Reel FX, but the industry as a whole is pretty volatile
