Business outlook
Pros
Atmosphere, culture, product, career development -- Focus is a great place to begin your career and begin to advance in the specialty film world. If you have the right attitude and don't let the jadedness of others influence you, you could have many happy years here. Inevitably it will be time to move on (there is a glass ceiling at a certain level) but you will leave friends and family behind when you go.
Cons
You do not earn a living wage until you begin to advance but things become more fair at the manager and director level and above. Within the specialty industry, this is standard. Obviously the salaries are lower than the big studios can offer.
