Great company - Senior Editor TOKYOPOP Employee Review

Management is flexible and cares about concerns and workloads. There's a lot of joking and a relaxed atmosphere to meetings to lessen pressure, and coworkers get along well enough that we choose to socialize with one another outside of work hours. Diversity is incredibly important in the hiring process, as well as in discussions and decision making for the future of the company. It's both refreshing and validating to see that upheld in every day projects and judgment calls. I've been given training, room to learn, and the opportunity to help grow the business in a way I never expected. It's hands down the most validating and fun place I've ever worked.

Small company, so everyone wears a lot of hats and has to hustle to cover tasks.

Location - you're right across the street from LACMA. You are doing legitimate work. There are many opportunities to network outside of the company.

They use interns to replace full-time paid employees and you must register to receive college credit in order to intern there. They overwork you to the point where they expect the company to come before school, you often have to seek guidance. There is a power struggle between the CEO, COO and President of the company and it causes a lot of tension in the workplace. While your internship is in a specific department, you shouldn't be surprised if you get pulled to do something else (i.e. going from marketing to graphic design).
