A promising company turned willfully incompetent
Pros
If you enjoy the entertainment industry then this is an exciting place for you. The salary is fairly good and there are plenty of company perks.
Cons
Like several media companies, there's no opportunity for growth and advancement. I've seen many hired interns exploited until they burn out. Then they're discarded and replaced with the next fresh slab of meat. Antiquated company structure that did not scale well to industry demands. Current employees were faced with the task to perform well above the norm. Sacrificing personal life, enduring emotional strain and compromising one's health. Beware of the inept HR department. Their sole purpose is to protect the company and not the employee. Even if the employee(s) have legitimate issues. And if issues are reported to HR, you can be certain those employees will be terminated. Copious staff meetings that are completely unnecessary which lead to team inefficiencies and large amounts of wasted time. At least the managers will leave the meeting with a sense of self-worth. Over the years I've seen several questionable business practices within this company. Such as eliminating one particular ethnicity to reach a company quota for diversity. (Which in itself is racist.) Upper management engaging in unprofessional personal affairs. Unnecessary large amounts of money spent on expensive remodeling, selective catering and undeserved managerial bonuses. Much of that capital could have been used to further the advancement of the employees well-being. And not lastly, complete suppression of opinions from employees who are trying to make the company a better place. I do not recommend working here and urge anyone interested to steer clear. There are much better options out there.
