Bardel Entertainment Reviews

Pros

Build relationships with other professionals and creatives; lots of autonomy in the work and work-life; great place to start building a career, high-caliber shows. There's a lot of freedom to present solutions to challenges and maybe see them implemented. There's a lot of room for leadership.

Cons

Negative politics at times and it can be cliquey. Doesn't have strong leadership led by core values.

Pros

Great family vibe, artists taken care of

Cons

Owner and CEO was a little frantic

Pros

- Community team organized fun events - Operations team was efficient and great to have in the studio - Decent projects, talented artists - Good stepping stone as a junior

Cons

Poor planning - Last minute notifications of whether we still have a job at the end of the week (or day) makes it very hard for us to plan our lives, or even our careers! Cheap rate - Stop pitching low bids on shows and then low-balling the artists! They demand senior talent at a junior rate with an unreasonable amount of work without OT pay. Lack of career growth - Managers preach development and growth but they don't know the first thing about it because they don't care enough to invest or keep anyone long enough to do so. There's an inner circle - Upper management and line producers are cliquey and will promote their favorite people even when there are others who are more deserving. They've let go of the good ones and kept the incompetent ones around. Production and upper management will ask the studio for feedback but they're not looking for change, they're looking for validation.

Pros

Easy to get hired, some fun projects

Cons

Low payment, lots and lots and lots of OT, you are expected to do OT without payment, they make you feel OT is your fault, producers are rude and demand more and more work
