Pros
Amazing group of artists and co-workers. One of the best places I've ever worked in my 15 years of experience. These artists work their butts off and care so much about each other and the studio that it's hard not to feel the same way. There is a layer of people in management positions on the floor with the artists that truly care about the people and are trying very hard to make some really good changes. Unfortunately they are in a constant battle with the boys upstairs on what seems to be all issues listed below. . .
Cons
No Overtime! The studio keeps shutting down the idea that as an animation studio they need to pay overtime which in fact many (read here: ALL) of the employees feel is some shady way for them to find a loophole with the DOL to just not compensate properly. Got technical issues? RFX does! The ever changing pipeline and overall lack of leadership in the technical areas lead to so many issues us artists will literally sit for DAYS not able to work on our assignments. Then guess what happens when their issue is fixed? Overtime! And don't you dare say anything about it or you will be looked at as a bitter and negative employee that just won't "take one for the team." Company will constantly beta test new things during an actual production. And they will actually think this is a good idea. . . the most recent (besides the new pipe again of course) is our internal tracking software. Doesn't work and there are no long term plans for it to work. It appears that they never do any salary research whatsoever and when they do get experienced people to come to Dallas it's only because of the state of the industry and that artists are desperate for work. It's either change your career, or Reel FX.
