Pros

I have worked on several projects at Two Cats, including the full production of a of a documentary on the history of Jerusalem. Two Cats is a small office with an open plan with no private offices so it's a collaborative environment. The office is in a nice elevator building that's centrally located in Manhattan for an easy commute. There are two edit rooms and a complete camera package in house. All the shoots are well-supplied with the most up to date rental equipment. Many of the projects are for PBS and are well funded. I made a competitive rate though not above average. I liked working with the EP who is also the owner. We shot all over the world and I had the chance to shoot in Israel on my own.

Cons

While I worked there, two cats lived at the office (surprise!) so it’s not great if you have allergies, but we were always able to hire dedicated production crew who liked cats. I've heard there is only one cat still there.

Pros

Hires employees with little experience and gives them responsibilities - but pay is extremely low for industry standard. Owner/boss would sometimes buy dinner for employees - but it was when insisting they stay at work past 8pm for non-urgent business. There are two cats in the office.

Cons

INAPPROPRIATE TREATMENT OF WOMEN: When owner/boss was looking to hire new employee, he called female employee over to his computer to show her the StaffMeUp profiles of candidates. He narrowed down candidates by their appearance only - saying he wanted to eliminate those who didn't look pretty or professional. He also went on LinkedIn and Facebook to find other pictures of candidates. Owner/boss also repeatedly called female employees "hot" to their faces. And said on conference call to agents (which employees were on the phone for) that he hired "hot girl" employees. Owner/boss asked to call female employee "Mommy". UNREASONABLE REQUESTS: Owner/boss said upon hiring that you were not to take off work for doctors appointments or out of town weddings. Would frequently email/text/call at 6am or 10pm with non-urgent work questions, would contact multiple times until you answered. Owner/boss demanded employee to clean the litter boxes each time the cats used them. FREQUENT FIRING OF EMPLOYEES: Several firings within just a few months. Fired employee with no notice or severance, because had to attend doctors appointments. Fired another employee with no notice or severance, via email, because he decided he didn't like them. Fired yet another employee with no notice or severance, via email with lawyer cced, because employee complained about workplace environment.
