Pros
Company treated me well at first and life was good. I kept reasonable hours, had regular pay raises and enjoyed working there. But it has long since changed from its “glory days” and it’s not the same company since the animation downturn.
Cons
Current upper management and the CEO care more about giving their friends jobs than actually producing a good product. Many good reliable artist got laid off for “budget” reasons, but somehow there’s always money for the friends of the higher ups. Even when said friend is known in the industry for being difficult to work with and toxic in the work place. When they don’t really need a person on a production anymore but they’re a buddy to the higher ups, they’ll make up a new role/title for them. Meanwhile the artists are working on a skeleton crew. Watched a more senior manager have no respect for the actual supervisors working in the floor, will lie to the supervisors’ faces, throw other people under the bus, and not listen to the actual artists. Many of the good artist there would have jumped shipped long ago to get away from a string of horrible management and unreasonable work expectations if other work was readily available. Take the job if you need the money, but don’t expect a good work environment.
