Pros

Seems most people are able to maintain employment for at least 2+ years

Cons

Entertainment is a very competitive industry--lots of people willing to work for low pay just to be employed in entertainment. FOr most people there are few perks to enjoy.

Pros

This is a prestige company, and that means you as a client will always get first rate attention from partners. The company's benefits are fantastic with great health options, a good catering facility on the lot and perks like screenings and semi annual company parties.

Cons

This could be a pro for some people, but the company is huge and the work flow suffers because of that. There are many bottlenecks and sometimes you feel like people are passing the buck down the line. Initiative is discouraged because of all the approvals you have to go through to get anything done. It's a very corporate environment which may appeal to some people, but if you're looking for more of a start-up environment with "doers" this is not the place. Here you will be a small part of a very big company.
