Pros

Free food and drinks.Learning new things. Team building because you work so much with everyone. Programs that foster growth from runner into 3d, design or 2d encouraged.

Cons

Very click-ish. Not enough time off. High turnover. low pay. Long hours. Male dominated in many cases all across the board. Growing but still operating like a small company.

Pros

I had a wonderful experience at The Mill. It truly felt like a family and you get out of it what you put into it. And the company will stop at nothing to see that you are happy if The Mill is where you want your career to be which is fantastic. And what I believe sets The Mill apart from others.

Cons

It can feel as though it is a "mean girls" environment. But it is only a small few that are like this and dependent on your role you could never have to work with these few. But this is not a reflection of The Mill at all. It is unfortunate that some individuals are this way, but definitely not a reflection of The Mill and what they stand for.
