Pros
Many of the people I encountered here were all very kind and helpful. They were all very big fans of the Jim Henson brand and franchise. The role was very robust and there was never dull moment or lack of things to do.
Cons
My direct supervisor was nearly always out of the office. I asked for guidance and support as I was new to the company, looking to my superior for that helping hand. I was met with dismissive responses, was never fully trained or introduced to my colleagues, the company, the property - there was zero on-boarding. Since I was acting in such a public role for the Company, I assumed there would have been some sort of crash course, introduction to team members or bulleted list of current and upcoming initiatives/projects, but instead was told to "figure it out" myself. That being said, maybe I was too naive - it is Hollywood, after all. Nepotism is real and upper management really protects those who have been around for years, regardless of their inefficient management style, constant vacation schedule and lack of leadership. I stepped into a role which was originally 2 positions, which had recently been combined into 1. This meant a massive workload that had not been properly disclosed in interviews and conversations leading up to being hired. I quit after 6 months because it was too much to handle and I needed to do so for my own sanity. It's a very lonely place to work and most people keep to themselves. I've never felt so unsupported in a career before. My biggest struggle was working under someone who clearly had no regard for me or helping me be successful for the benefit of the company. I raised these concerns with HR at my exit interview and was told that this "wasn't the first time" these concerns had been raised about my superior. All I can say is I'm glad to have learned quickly that this was not the fit for me.
