Reel FX reviews

Really this is just a rehash of many of the other reviews. The boys network of management. Promoting failure. Long time employees promoted to positions without the proper qualifications. Favoritism. There are a few bad apples that will throw people under the bus to management. Continually scheduling projects with a pie in the sky approach instead of looking at the reality of the time and resources it takes to do the work. You can say "it works on paper" repeatedly but that doesn't make it a reality. Lack of good leadership leads to many people on the floor not taking ownership of the work. Mediocre or half done work is sent down the pipe and the reasoning is "we'll fix it in lighting." The fact that lighting is always the department that bears the brunt of poor planning, limited resources, and getting all the problems to solve doesn't seem to matter. Read the reviews most of them are spot on.

-no OT pay -low pay rate because "cost of living is cheaper in Texas" -not enough senior artists/artists with experience -ridiculously long hours This means that the one or two people in each department who actually know how to do their job are left working crazy hours to support the rest of the team. All of this is without any extra pay, or even the slightest bit of recognition. -dubious practices to try and milk tax subsidies -leads that don't know how departments work or supervisors who don't understand the pipeline -met with a lot of resistance when trying to improve workflows to industry standards -people with very little experience, but long histories at the company are given major leadership roles -low level projects with bad stories and worse box office performances
