Pros

The Artists and production people are talented and great to work with. Insurance is good

Cons

Really this is just a rehash of many of the other reviews. The boys network of management. Promoting failure. Long time employees promoted to positions without the proper qualifications. Favoritism. There are a few bad apples that will throw people under the bus to management. Continually scheduling projects with a pie in the sky approach instead of looking at the reality of the time and resources it takes to do the work. You can say "it works on paper" repeatedly but that doesn't make it a reality. Lack of good leadership leads to many people on the floor not taking ownership of the work. Mediocre or half done work is sent down the pipe and the reasoning is "we'll fix it in lighting." The fact that lighting is always the department that bears the brunt of poor planning, limited resources, and getting all the problems to solve doesn't seem to matter. Read the reviews most of them are spot on.

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
