Pros
great co-workers in the studio. Usually really kind creative folks ready to support one another. free supplies on a month basis and studio access.
Cons
Human resources will feign incompetence but it is intentional. They will bully you out of a job if they find you inconvenient. Regional managers are so lazy and don't care about a single studio employee. Studio Managers are a toss up. We were lucky other studios not so much. If you can work full time hours they expect it but no you will not be considered a full time employee and will not receive any benefits as those are for upper management. Unless upper managemet likes you, no promotions. You wont even hear of the opportunity. Studios have maintenance issues. Ours reeks like a sewer, the next closes has had a bug infestation for over 6 months. Do not allow you to say thank you on tip boards. Why? because they are EVILLLL Claims to be an EOE but hates disabled employees. If you need an accommodation it will inevitably force you to quit.
