Pros

Good people, and a sense of "innovation" in the work

Cons

As it turns out, the "innovation" is mostly lip service. The smart purchase of STARZ has done little to help the company, because they still operate like two companies. While other tech companies have successfully entered the entertainment and streaming space, Lionsgate still doesn't offer anything to differentiate themselves from other studios, thus see themselves falling behind. The sense of uncertainty about the future was constant, and that was before COVID shut down the theaters. Pay was below entertainment industry standards, and available resources & budgets were often the same.

Pros

Learned a lot since I was given so much responsibility. Great hotel options for business trips. Good networking opportunity.

Cons

Negative, toxic work place. Rude, egos. Favor certain people. No support or respect. Listen to new people or outsiders more than their loyal employees. For lower levels - awful pay, terrible bonuses, need overtime and need more people for workload.

Thanks for your feedback and advice. We will be communicating the results of the Employee Survey in the new year to all employees and setting up focus groups to garner additional feedback. We want to hear your comments and suggestions to make Lionsgate a great place to work. Also, please remember we have a Suggestion Award program which is open to all employees and elicits suggestions (and provides rewards) for workplace, cost-savings and innovation suggestions. As far as salaries, we are continuously reviewing them and making adjustments as needed based on market conditions and our overall total rewards strategy (which includes our free HMO insurance plan, bonuses, company stock for all employees, etc.) Finally, please feel free to drop by my office anytime to chat or speak to anyone in HR about your concerns and suggestions. I hope that we can do better than "terrible". We work for you and are here to help! Ross

Pros

Great coworkers and Summer Fridays/Holidays off

Cons

HORRIBLE pay for entry level workers, and absolutely no regard for their growth. There is no rhyme or rhythm to what they do here. They waste tons of money on Teslas for directors and cameos for talent and "consultants to improve culture" when in reality they need to just increase salaries MODESTLY to be competitive.
