Pros

- big brand name - interesting slate of titles especially for 2019, great variety - creative, fun people to work with - imaginarium (employee group that plans and executes events like wellness month, charity drives, or company breakfasts)

Cons

- expected to work long hours, often overworked and tired - lowest pay i've ever witnessed, especially for entry-level employees - no willingness to commit, entry-level positions are written off as month-long internships without benefits to keep costs as low as possible - even mid-senior salaries are much lower than average - little mobility upwards, would rather hire from the outside than promote within the company - very high turnover, especially entry to mid-level employees leave after a year or two - very poor management from the top, many HODs not properly trained to mentor and guide - little to no communication from CEO, no transparency - HR does not care one bit about employee's well-being and the general unhappiness amongst colleagues

Pros

The motion picture department I worked with was great. Very helpful and professional. I learned a lot.

Cons

The HR department is so petty. The SR Manager of Talent Acquisition, in particular, is so immature. Resentful of those who don't work in HR. The HR department in total is toxic and bitter, and resentful of those who don't have to work in HR because we took the initiative to develop our skills outside of working in HR.
