Pros

I have been editing for Executive Producer Alan LaGarde, for over 12 years. He is a huge fan of hiring young people out of school. He starts them slowly and allows them to grow into storytellers. If you work hard, you will walk away (if you want to) a better filmmaker and story teller. They make solid television shows that are story driven and entertaining. They pay a very fair weekly rate, and the environment though stressful at times with deadlines is a family.

Cons

Because they are known for hiring young people, mistakes do happen. Some would consider this a con, I don't. I believe that young people learn and grow (especially in the film industry) from their mistakes more than their triumphs. LaGarde is kind & understanding, yet will allow those mistakes to be teaching moments so they don't happen again. I honestly can't think of a single con of working for PaperRoute. It is a wonderful place to call home.

Pros

Very flexible Executive Producers who do not micro-manage and are happy as long as the work gets done. The shows are fun to work on and they appreciate their people. They make you feel like you are one of them.....overall a fun bunch of people

Cons

Lots of nepotism and imbalance - meaning they don't fire people who aren't doing their work if they are friends with them. You can do great work for them (have very few network notes) but that does not guarantee you will be hired back. In a way it's very cliquey and it helps to be under the age of 30 (upper management is all under 35 years old and do not have the experience to be managing people). Also, preferable treatment given to editors....producers are not appreciated.
