Pros

- Wide variety of tasks - Some inside knowledge about the film industry can be gained

Cons

- Employees were treated poorly: management treated employees like they were inferior (e.g., petty insults from management, disrespectful tone of speech) - Workplace had many obvious and unnecessary safety hazards despite management's claim that safety was a priority - Management allowed the supervisor to disregard safety This may be of interest: during my time at Thomas FX, the CEO hired 2 people who then chose to leave within a two weeks of their hire date because of the way they were treated. In hindsight, I should have left much earlier but I was too young and naive.

Many current and former employees would disagree with this opinion. Expectations for employees are clear, and Thomas FX respects our hard-working, diligent, and competent employees, and encourages employees who are struggling, to ask questions. Safety in the workplace is of paramount concern. We adhere to all WCB Work Safe regulations and guidelines, and our WCB record is nearly flawless. Only one claim in 50 years, likely deliberately self-inflicted, by an employee who stuck his foot under a forklift to qualify for benefits, which he bragged about to a coworker. Thomas FX is a busy company, with a fast pace of operations, requiring dedication, focus, and energy to keep up with the flow, which is made clear during the hiring process. On occasion, an employee finds that they are unable to keep up and elects to leave, or is let go, when it is apparent that they are unable to meet the company’s minimum performance standards.

Pros

They pay you well, and they know how to amplify your strengths.

Cons

I don't give negative reviews because I don't think my opinion serves anyone any justice. Find out for yourself, there are no shortcuts in life.

Pros

During the holiday season there is a lot of customers in the store. I enjoyed the busy atmosphere and the fun that being part of the team to help families have successful events brought. We had daily team meetings so we were kept knowledgeable of the products and deals of the day which made things work smoothly for all the staff.

Cons

You need to be prepared to work a lot of hours during the busy season. It really isn't a con if you are wanting lots of hours as I did and enjoy helping people have fun but sensible shoes are advised.
