      Cons

      evil corporation that literally squashes you for everything you have illegally keeps full time employees as contract workers so they receive no health benefits or severance randomly layoff 25% of company and send an email the morning of to cause panic like some dystopic tyrannical child-king literally brought in a "corporate psychologist" to tell everyone how lucky they were to work for this company and that working from home is lazy

      Pros

      It exposes you to the studio lot. Opportunities to work with other productions and desk positions. Sometimes you can work full time hours and pay checks are big during the summer hours.

      Cons

      Giving tours all day every day for over a year before getting other positions. The summers are hot and you have to wear long sleeves and a blazer. Even if it is 100 degrees outside. Many people pass out while working in the summer. Working in the pouring rain is hard too. It is part time so many weeks you won't have enough hours to live. No benefits
