Gradient Effects reviews

Where to begin? Terrible owner. Terrible production staff. Terrible hours. Terrible pay! Terrible everything! One day notice layoffs! This place makes artist quit the industry and is among the worst places to work. The pay is low and hours are long. Owner belittles and berates people openly as if it’s a show. He cusses, rants and cries excessively about the problems that are encroaching his company. He’s a insecure man child that thinks his work is the best in the world but makes very third rate Fx. (Graduates straight outta school please be careful and stay away. He will destroy your confidence to pay you pennies!its his tactic) Save yourself the trouble, trauma and exhaustion from working here.

This is a place where nobody should work. No matter how desperate you are for a job, PLEASE DO NOT WORK HERE. The stress from this environment will quickly turn you into a zombie. You will not have a life, and you will easily lose the passion that you have for the arts. There's nothing more frustrating than an owner that does not have any clue about the schedule, who's doing what and what the client wants. At the end of the day, everyone else is to blame except him. Keep in mind, this guy is the owner, CG supe, 2D supe, FX supe, Creative Director, artist and all of the above; therein lies the problem. His ego is so boosted that he is not able to accept any criticism, what more appoint someone else as a supervisor. Like what others said, save yourself from the agony and humiliation that he will throw at you and stay far away from this place. The pay is also substantially low than what most places will offer you. Respect yourself enough and don't put yourself through this bane. P/s - Be aware of any high ratings, it probably was written by him or management as a form of damage control.
