      Disappointing

      Pros

      Some great artists and production staff

      Cons

      The list is long. No overtime pay accompanied by mandatory overtime hours. This is on top of already low salaries to begin with. An expressed desire to create a slate of IPs, yet ineptitude in actually doing so. I was hired with the assurance that "we don't do contracts - we're a Texas company, so we do handshakes." Turns out their handshakes are worthless given that they completely went back on everything they told me when I was hired.

      Work Harder, Not Smarter - the theme at Reel FX

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Fun company, great people, smart people, great atmosphere * Get to take ownership and impact the technology used if you are driven and passionate (and talented enough) * in Dallas (vs Southern California)

      Cons

      * amazingly wasted amounts of skill and talent * Sr. Mgmt. team (with maybe 2 exceptions) makes questionable direction and company investment decisions. No clear leadership or direction from above * Sr. Mgmt expects to be served by the employees (when they should be focused on serving the employees themselves - leadership means serving those you lead!) * slaves to doing it 'the old way' - "don't have time to make it better, just get it done" * abuse employees with low pay and long hours
