Pros

Helping performers make a living and improving their lives is an important cause. It was a great experience and a place I am proud to have worked.

Cons

Since the 2012 merger of SAG and AFTRA, there will be far fewer professional opportunities as they downsize the organization. Internal politics, both with members and staff, run hot and heavy, and the elbows can be very sharp. Lots of night and weekend work for mid and senior level staff.

Pros

The mission is meaningful and the benefits package is cool

Cons

Work-life balance is poor. The workload and expectations feel consistently high, and coverage isn’t reliable, when things get busy, support can be inconsistent. The biggest issue is fairness: there’s a noticeable pay gap even within the same team for comparable work, and it’s hard not to feel discouraged when people doing the same job are compensated very differently. It also doesn’t feel like a true team. Accountability is uneven, and when some employees disengage or avoid work, the same few people end up carrying the load to keep everything running. Leadership responsiveness can be inconsistent, and representation and inclusion efforts don’t always feel reflected in decision-making.
