Pros

-Free health insurance after 30 days. 12.75/hr. Sometimes I have manditory overtime that pays about 19.00/hr but it's not optional when they call. If you're flexibal, it rocks, but you have to go to work on short notice or they fire you sometimes. Two of my friends got fired over the phone for calling in sick. They have a new hire bonus, but my friends now make more than I do doing the same thing. I need my medications, so it's hard for me to change jobs. My medication is half price with Chewy's insurance. Their insurance is kinda killer, but call them before signing up.

Cons

Before I was totally hired on: Recruiting doesn't like people who are motivated. I went to a hiring event and heard a girl say she didn't hire someone because 'he looked for a job that could offer a promotion along the line.' I acktually saw her flip her hair over her shoulder as she said this. I heard it down the hall at a hiring event. I'm so glad I interviewed with her male coworker cuz I wanted to move up. -MGMT can be really cliquey, choosing favorites and targeting employees they don't like. "Pointing them" until they can be technically fired by their own HR Standards. -This company sells cool stuff at a 20% discount for employees, but you have to ask HR to get you the perk. It's not automatic.

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
