Pros
*Nice people...who stab you in the back after they pretend to be your friend *Great benefits *Nice perks such as screenings, art books, DVDs, art lessons *Beautiful campus *Yes, free meals
Kontras
*You're only as good as your current boss says you are, no matter how excellent previous performance is, and a bad supervisor (which is endemic there) can break your career and fire you without any warning *Supervisors have dismal training in actual people skills; coordinators get promoted to supervisor if they have the technical saavy, which has *nothing* to do with whether they can manage PEOPLE *Don't ever, EVER trust H.R. -- they're there to protect the company. Period. *Artists rule; production people are expendable *You have to cater to the artists every whim, even if they're lazy and have low productivity *Narcissistic supervisors, editors, and executives make the work miserable no matter how 'pretty' the campus -- everyone's out for their careers and stomp over whoever they need to *Very clique-oriented. Prepare to re-live high school -- the men act are worse than sixth grade girls. *No, I wasn't fired. I left after I saw how people were treated and didn't want to stand in line to be another victim.
