Pros

You get to watch movies. Even if it is the same movies about 7-10 times during your stay there due to things constantly changing (not improving, just changing)

Cons

The owner will start off with a smile, the people will keep you going there. The product is a terrible mess and originality is frowned upon. It's a product that will never see the light of day. Even after it was supposedly released to the public no one wants it. Thankfully the owner gets his income from other means so you can just be a wallflower and hope it doesn't get sold to some conglomerate. If you are desperate enough to take the sweet-sounding position, make sure you never bring anything up to a manager or person of higher position. They will 1) steal the idea and shop it as their own 2) get you fired for having an original thought or 3) ignore you and put you on the radar for future mistakes. Basically, join up if you are desperate and want to meet some fun people. Don't expect a steady job since the average employee will work there for about 2-4 years until they get bored with you and want the revolving door to keep spinning.

Pros

It's rare to work for a company that is fully engaged in changing the way that viewers interact with media. What this company aims to achieve has never been done before so there is no "rule book". Everyday is a new lesson in media, movies, writing, and customer expectations. Over the years we have created some amazing apps, all of which can be viewed from the CustomPlay's website.

Cons

This job is not for everyone. We have very strict standards for quality. Quality just isn't a phrase here, it's part of a continuous drive to supply our customers with the best possible experience. Everyone who works at this company is movie fanatic and we check each others work continually. Employees with strong egos don't last long.

Pros

You get a paycheck. There's nothing else positive.

Cons

You are a prisoner. You can't get water or go to the bathroom when you'd like. The owner is about the worst person you can imagine
