Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of shows to work on. Most of the time, they will seek to keep you and find you another show if the one you were working on has ended. Decent pay.

Cons

Pipeline and quotas are insane for the level of quality and output expected. Harassment cases go ignored or a blind eye is turned to it.

Overly Corporate Workplace. Creatives Disrespected.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you want to quietly be another gear cog in a machine, you can disappear in here and be left alone.

Cons

Productions are constantly understaffing in all departments causing more workload for same pay. Senior, effective artists are not given rewards or incentives. The overly corporate feeling in the air does not encourage loyalty to the company.
