Pros

- Considerate, intelligent, talented colleagues. - Creative work that supports diverse comic artists. - Able to form collaborative relationships with creators; supporting their work is very rewarding. - New project opportunities as the industry and company grow. - Good healthcare and fringe benefits.

Cons

- Department silos and lack of communication make job difficult. - Employees expected to be autonomous at job start with minimal onboarding. - Pressure to take on projects and work at or over capacity. - Atypical office hours and expectation to be available at all times make work-life balance challenging. - Limited career development with little difference between roles; company tends to hire out rather than hire up. - Management often disregards feedback and is resistant to centralizing processes, which results in crossed wires.
