Pros

A lot of the people here are truly amazing — talented, humble, nice, inspiring. Because of that, work can be fun and it's so easy to make friends. And for families, Richmond is an exceedingly great place to live since it's so interesting and affordable.

Cons

TMA is the only place in town and DAMN do they know it. They will overwork you, underpay you, and getting a promotion is akin to scaling Everest. As many reviewers have stated, there is also definitely an A-Team, though the inner circle seems to be more defined by lifers than actual talent. If you're not in, you never stand a chance here and often the people that weren't able to break in go on to be wildly succeed somewhere else, which shows a waste of talent. They also seem to value time at Martin (as in people who've never worked anywhere else) over industry experience, which is totally insane.
