Pros

Co-Workers and Free Lunch on Wednesdays

Cons

Working at Whiteboard Animation is not the environment one might expect from a creative industry. Ideas and suggestions are often shot down immediately, usually by the CEO. If the idea did not come from his brain directly, it's a definite no-go. Additionally, the CEO is a huge burden on the company's success and your individual work process. Don't be surprised if you are asked to do several tasks out in left field, and expect him to change his mind every five seconds then back it up with imaginary facts and percentages that make absolutely no logical sense. Honestly, just avoid working here at all cost. If you are wanting to go into the marketing/sales section of the company, expect to be micromanaged and constantly undermined. If you want to work in the animation/creative section, prepare yourself to be let go with very little warning when slow weeks roll in. You will be told that you will be "re-hired" when things pick up again, but I never witnessed that actually happen. If you are desperate for a job, then by all means apply, but don't expect to grow with the company. There is very little room to move up.

Pros

Most of the animators and creative directors were great to work with. Company provided free lunch once a week and tons of coffee.

Cons

Compared to other companies I've worked with this company is the least transparent with one of the most unhealthy work environments. Studio is gross. Surroundings were better suited for a plumbing company than a company creating cool designs. Applying to jobs that are listed on website resulted in a total bait and switch. Website says “Our full-time employees receive small benefits packages, bonuses, and profit-sharing plans.” Totally not true. New FT animators do not receive any benefits even though you work just as hard and put in the same number of hours. Owner did email employees asking them to review/like company work to boost its online metrics.
