Pros

The artists were wonderful. A great place to start off in the industry, for sure.

Cons

Things got a bit stagnant after a while. There wasn't enough work to grow around, the pay didn't reflect how long you'd been there (my last year there was a "temporary hold" on raises across the board), upper management didn't run things very well (very soon after I started, they made my department come in on Saturdays to get a "head start" on things, despite the fact that we had no work to do yet, so I came in on Saturdays and did tutorials. And in Texas, there's no overtime pay)

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
