Pros

Some cool people. Except most of them get fired really quick because the management sees everyone as replaceable.

Cons

The management is extremely discriminatory and inconsiderate. I was told that they did not "give a *dang* about my grandpas death" when I request only 1 day off to attend a funeral. The next week I had a concussion from a car accident and was told to leave early 4 days early even though by the second day I was fine. Then I was told it was unprofessional I was missing so many days even though I was FORCED to leave because they were scared of being liable if my concussion lead to death. To top it all off, management also asked my if I had a disability after hiring me, and I admitted I did. They asked me if I see a doctor to medicate and I said yes. They then suggested I increase my medication... even though none of them are qualified to give medical advice and it is not their business. I was called stupid on many occasions, likely because I am a Latino Jew. All of my friends that got fired were African American. They straight up told me they wanted me to leave because they did not want someone with a disability working there. I asked the manager if they knew what equal opportunity act is... and her jaw dropped because she assumed I was too stupid to know what they were doing is illegal. I am in the process of filing a lawsuit against the company. They also told me that because I admitted to attending a rap concert they can assume I use drugs which is extremely racist. I even said I would submit to a drug test but they told me that because I take prescription medication for a disability they don't want me there anyways. Absolutely disgusting.

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
