Pros

Decent compensation, good creative work

Cons

People say that good managers trust their employees to do their jobs, but this is not the case at Canyon. There are some decent, good and hard working people here, but all of the good things about this place are tainted by the controlling nature and paranoia of some members of upper management. The insurance options are not great. Also, they pride themselves on work life balance, but work life balance is only achievable for the few that dump their work onto the shoulders of others. They are also very old school and their inability to get with the times has lead to massive problems that have not only lost them money, but have alienated the dedicated and talented staff that produce the good work the agency gets credit for. They are losing ground and it's their own fault.

Pros

This workplace offers 100% remote and have daily virtual meetings. If you enjoy working from home, you are in the right place. People are friendly and the company has a nice culture overall.

Cons

Work can sometimes be a bit intense, but given the personality/nature of entertainment field, it's understandable.

Pros

One of the standout aspects of the company was its remote work structure, which offered flexibility and trust, allowing me to manage billing, accounts receivable and financial reporting with autonomy and efficiency. The team was small but mighty. I appreciated how approachable and supportive everyone was from all departments.

Cons

Because the company operated fully remotely, it could sometimes be difficult to align schedules or catch team members in real time. Unlike an in office environment, spontaneous collaboration or quick check ins require more planning and flexibility. With a lean team, workloads could occasionally become intense, especially for roles outside of project finance. Some colleagues had to juggle multiple responsibilities which sometimes led to longer hours or stretched bandwidth. The high volume of task flowing through a small group occasionally caused slight delays in communication. While everyone was responsive and committed, the sheer pace of work meant that follow ups sometimes took longer than ideal. Also there is not an official HR role which can cause a delay in receiving and processing of employee request.
