- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Money. Just the money and nothing else, unless you are American, then you're sweet. Leaving at the end of my contract.
Cons
Unless you are from the USA you will not be given any chances to progress. Management lies to workers routinely. They came to my building, and misrepresented NZ legislation pertaining to overtime hours, stopping most of it in Rongotai, while all other buildings were unaffected. Did not honour training schedules that were written in contract firm with crew. Chose not to renew experienced crew in order to employ unqualified friends from overseas (Americans....). Middle management is an overstatement in Rongotai. Peter principle personified. Senior management is at lest as bad. Executive producer treats crew as expendable at all opportunities. Runners progress to producers or HR in double quick time without being ready. Computers are inadequate. Facilities are barely usable. Overtime hours have been eradicated.

Cons
Long hours but reasonable. It's all about connection no more skill-set test. For no valid reason they just don't extent contracts.
