Pros
Open office, easy to make friends and get to know your team, overall pretty relaxed environment, great projects, short turn around time but allows the artists to build their reels really quickly, great people to work with.
Cons
No OT pay, but late nights and weekends are almost always required. Pay is way too low for the amount of work and effort required to completing the tasks. They like to use the fear/teamwork tactic to scare their artists into working more hours. Promotion based on friendship with higher up rather than knowledge and skill. Too many people on top are out of loop and out of touch with current techniques and technology. Artists not allowed to speak to art directors directly for feedback. The studio as a whole is extremely political and divided.
