A lot of passionate people but horrible management

Business Outlook

Pros

- ok worklife balance. I work 40hr/wk - everyone here is super passionate about anime and their jobs - unlimited PTO

Cons

- Senior management is horrible. A lot of nepotism in this company, surprisingly. - Total lack of growth opportunities. People don't rarely get promoted here. - I was shocked by how the lack of integrity from upper management working here. It's weird how corporate, soul-less and untransparent this company has become while still being so small.

Very Team Dependent, Becoming more in-person instead of hybrid

Business Outlook

Pros

Besides the poor job market, benefits are what keep me here.

Cons

The closer you are to working with upper management, the more hassle and stress. No work-life balance.
