Pros

Five-Star works with luxury brands, so every project you work on has to meet the highest quality standards. After a few years you won’t even know how to make a sub-par video.

Cons

Pretty much the only way to get promoted is to relocate.

Pros

I’ve done the freelance thing, and it’s more stressful than it’s honestly worth. I make just as much working for Five-Star and I don’t have to worry about finding my next client. The company isn’t perfect, but it’s good, dependable work for people who don’t want a boring 9-5 office job.

Cons

Busy season is packed (70+ hour weeks) and low season is VERY slow (sometimes as low as 20 hours).
