Pros

It was a very cool and successful show to be a part of

Cons

My team lead and her boss were terrible. I came into the work pretty green (which they knew) and was told I would be taught everything and would get to sit in on a lot of cool meetings. Always asked if I could join these meetings and was always told no. Then I got let go for ‘not being interested in the work’, which had never been brought up to me before so I was not given a chance to counter. Did not feel like I was even able to advocate for myself to anyone. Meetings where always awkward and the team did not know how to work under this management.

Pros

- began work with an amazing team and culture - exposure to major IP and high-profile campaigns - some genuinely talented and passionate colleagues - fast-paced environment that builds skills quickly - healthcare is decent - some fun on-lot perks

Cons

- poor work/life balance exceptions from SPTV lower and upper management - unmanageable workload left little room for the collaboration and meeting engagement leadership expected - upper management changes resulted in reactive restructuring with little regard for team culture or continuity - inconsistent management: some leaders failed to empower or advocate for their teams - clear office politics which interfere with business decisions - quick burnout when management fails to course-correct workload - leadership set workloads based on personal work style rather than sustainable team norms - little to no growth opportunities - 4 days in office is excessive and unnecessary
