Pros
At its best, TBNR was a difficult but rewarding job experience. I learned a lot during my tenure with this company, and the vast majority of my coworkers were extremely talented, friendly, and welcoming. Pay is relatively decent for many of the roles, and basic health insurance is fully covered for employees. Many jobs are fully remote.
Cons
Oh boy, where to begin? I can corroborate many of the negative things mentioned in other reviews -- the frequently exhaustingly long work hours, nepotism, the frequently unsafe filming environments, and a near constant need for communicative availability, even outside of normal work hours. While I mentioned before that at its best, TBNR was difficult and rewarding experience. At its worst, TBNR was a job that made me dread waking up in the morning. Like many of the other reviews here say, the management seems to be the root of the majority of the issues this company is facing. In response to people who say to bring up the high employee turnover or employee dissatisfaction during the interview process, don't bother. Management will outright lie about these aspects of the company (and more) during the interview process and vilify former employees to misrepresent the work environment. TBNR felt like a constantly revolving door of talent, with some new employees lasting only a week or two before getting axed for whatever reason. It's safe to say that the majority of employees I saw during my time at TBNR did not make it to one year with the company and were either let go or quit. TBNR's attempts to create a creative and collaborative environment, while noble in theory, ultimately backfire for non-management employees. As another review mentions, the systems do not do much to service employees at the bottom of the food chain. Management is blind to the issues plaguing the company, and does not listen to feedback or suggestions. Meanwhile, you are expected to become the scapegoat for any and all failures. TBNR does not feel like a place that wants to actually invest in its employees, whether that's in terms of their skills or their physical and mental health. Employees are often victims to gaslighting or other verbal abuse. I've never doubted my skills more than I did during my time here. Management will also do whatever they can to disparage their own employees if it means saving their own skins and not taking responsibility for their own failures. Much of management, while knowledgable about the Youtube space, lacks the relevant experience at production companies to create an environment that is more consistent with industry standard. The majority of the employees are young and may not realize that these practices are not normal. If the CEO and President, while nice people to your face, either do not realize these things are going on, do realize but don't care, or are complicit in creating this environment. None of these outlooks are relatively positive.
