Pros

Excellent discount. Good Gratis Nice health benefits A place where it has been set up to feel like we as a company make a difference every day.

Cons

Not enough head count. One person does the job of multiple people Our retail partners hold all of the power and we are forced to bend over backward to make them happy. Corporate employees have better perks- summer holidays, corporate meetings with open bar ect. Field does not feel that trickle down. We can not compete with other brands. We have no budget to do the basic things that smaller companies are able to provide. Treats for the cast, freelance support ect. If we could be competitive we would be able to bring in even more dollars and make a profit. We are forced to pay out of pocket to do many of the things we need for our jobs. i.e. printing at home, buying our own ink, driving our own cars and not being compensated at even the government rate, paying our credit card bills out of pocket when expenses are not reimbursed in a timely matter.
