It pays off to be a jerk

Pros

The hard working people are amazing, down to earth folks you cannot wait to see them next day. Sadly, these are the ones the studio bullies push around.

Cons

The bullies, or in better terms: LeJerks. This group is formed by passive-aggressive supervisors, producers and HR folks. Each one of them live in their own bubble, don't interact with anybody unless they need to make a mark on a check box so they can get a tap on the back from upper management (whoever they are. Seriously, I never met any of these guys), and do all those things they tell you in school not to do if you want to keep working in this industry, yet they made it to where they are (ironic huh!). Sometimes I think people get infested by the comptent and condescending tone of the quebecois

Pros

Lots of amazing people from many backgrounds that you wonder what the bloody hell are you doing here.

Cons

Cliques, Cliques, Cliques and guess what... more Cliques. The company feels like a high school, people act like they are in a high school and some of the content that is produced belongs to the same league of a high school. Tons of people act like they own the company and hurt it either intentionally or by accident.

Pros

Good for people who don't care about what they work on and want "stability" Decent pay and opportunities for full time

Cons

-Low quality work. Will tell you about the amazing projects they have. Then you find out they go to Vancouver or London. Or the work was given to them by another companies overflow. -Mismanaged -Two faced back stabbing supervisors and management. -Chase away hard working artists with talent -Hire based on friends and project needs. A lot of students. -English speaking people get snubbed and only talked to in French. Outcasted. -No room for growth. You have to approach them about raise and review. They'll tell you your great but won't give you a promotion or raise. - won't renew your contract until your last day or you've already left... if they notice. -don't care if your getting harassed/mistreated. - will promise low overtime hours and will keep you all night for fake deadlines. - no morale
