Pros
It's a hard place to work but the people bond over it which contributes to the culture - the people on the ground absolutely make the studio and it takes newcomers no time to realize it. Deep Ellum is a fantastic neighborhood to work in for culture, and you can afford to live in the DFW area even on a not-so-impressive salary which is important. It's a good place to get the type (or quantity) of shots you wouldn't otherwise get while at a larger studio.
Cons
It's a small studio, struggling to find success so you won't find a great many comforts but you get the basics: insurance, fair enough vacation time...sick time is tricky but it is present, occasional OT meals depending on the project, very minimal comp time...hardly ever. Copious amounts of unpaid OT, largely due to unpredictable work, low profit margins but in many cases also a mismanagement thing as well as a by-product of the Texas pro-business culture. Salaries can be inconsistent...something they've tried to address but come up short due to studio circumstances.
