      Good overall. Depends on what department you work in, and how buddy buddy you are with supervisors.

      Pros

      Learn lots if you are fresh out of school. Pretty cool projects, and a decent work environment. People are nice, and the younger crowd likes to hang out quite a bit. For staff people, you can potentially stay for a very long time, and live a pretty normal life.

      Cons

      It's in Texas, so there is no other studios here. They know this and take advantage of it. For younger people, Dallas is a very boring city. Production management are severely retarded, and capable of ruining projects due to poor communication skills. They will never turn down projects and you get stuck working on things that you will not want to show. Client management is horrible, and they will bend over backwards.

      Pros

      Up and coming animation studio, starting to get involved in animated film projects at a higher level. Company has the can do spirit.

      Cons

      senior management wants to make low cost movies at pixar quality. there is a reason that pixar makes great movies and it's not because they are able to churn out "good enough" content at a resonable rate.

      A very creative/challenging place to work.

      Pros

      Get to work with some incredibly talented and passionate individuals. The studio is small enough for your work to make an impact and still large enough to work on recognized material.

      Cons

      Only downside would be Reel FX's indecision about what it wants to be. An Animation House, a Special Effects House, or a Commercial House. It's split at the moment, but it's not really a downside.
