Pros

It is a job in the entertainment industry that exists

Cons

The pay is terrible, and the senior management is utterly inept. The company has squandered money trying to invest in AI and build new facilities, and as a result, has not been able to keep up with the rise in cost of living over the last four years. The company appears to be in debt and is not able to hire new employees or promote existing employees. For now, they still make payroll, but that's about as good as it gets.

Pros

At the beginning, I had stable work and didn’t have to worry about making ends meet. Iyuno was enough as my main income, and I could live comfortably.

Cons

Over time, my workload was gradually reduced without any explanation, despite having five years of experience and consistently high-quality work. I was effectively replaced by new translators while being kept in the dark. This has left me uncertain about my future, and unfortunately, I can no longer rely on Iyuno as a primary source of income. After years of dedication and turning down other opportunities to stay loyal, this outcome is very disappointing.
