Pros

Great place to network if you see yourself going freelance, but need a place to start your career.

Cons

Not a place you want to be at for more than a year because there is zero potential for growth. They were bought by Creative Drive which is has a hyper corporate mentality and only see money from their employees and money from their clients. If it isn't about their self interest and profit they don't care. There used to be snack time, team outings, company retreats and holiday parties, managers that were motivational and that was all cut. The whole part of working at a studio is for a fun and creative environment that has caring manager. The good ones have left and all that's left are type-a personalities that are being sucked dry of anything good. The clients are even moving away because the producers can't provide the small family style perks that once were: wine, treats, FRIENDLINESS. It's all just about profit now. It's become a soul sucking factory. And all the assistant and junior staff are completely not paid competitively. No raises for three plus year. Really not worth the ride.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and comments. We're sad to hear that you're not having the experience you would like to have. We do care about our associates, and there is no reason you shouldn't still be doing the fun things that are part of working in the fun, creative environment. Most of our studios embrace the fun along with the work. They held fun holiday parties/outings and have other fun activities throughout the year. We make all of the resources to have the fun activities available, so if you're not seeing those types of activities, let your manager know you want them. We are very proud of the talent that works here and celebrate everyone's hard work and creative eye. If you have concerns about your compensation, we encourage you to speak with your manager directly. Thank you for your continued hard work and all you do to keep the company moving forward.
