Pros

You get to work with smart, fun, and caring people that genuinely love what they do. It's also cool to have Summer Fridays (offices close at 12:30pm on Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day).

Cons

Promotions are rare. It's also publishing, so the pay isn't that great.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
