Pros
Very loosely managed, so you could take long lunch breaks. Lots of great coworkers in other departments.
Cons
The owners are both incredibly incompetent. One was hardly ever there. When they were, they behaved in a manner I would call incredibly unprofessional. After two years, I couldn't be sure he knew my name because rather than use my name, he referred to me by incredibly offensive homophobic slurs. I think he thought he was being funny, but he never bothered to ask how I felt about it. He often referred to women in demeaning terms, including some of our coworkers, and often alluded to female reproductive organs as metaphors for just about anything. He was often prone to unpredictable mood swings and sudden bouts of rage, including profanity and verbal abuse to anyone/anybody regardless of responsibility. Projects were worked on in earnest and at breakneck speeds only to discover the owners had changed their minds, making entire weeklong projects (sometimes monthlong) complete wastes of time. When this happened, they rarely took responsibility, often placing blame with one of their subordinates. Lastly, I spent two years at the company being consistently promised a raise and near the end was told I shouldn't expect one. Not to mention the wastefulness of the owner's managerial style, where resources were squandered almost constantly. The owners liked to consider themselves "filmmakers" and "part of the industry" yet they had no sympathy to their employees who actually made all of their content for them and showed their lack of respect by criminally under paying their video staff. Yes, they had good benefits that they took care of, but what good is health insurance when you can't afford rent? Overall, I sometimes look back at my time at Zacuto and wonder why I didn't quit in spectacular fashion within two weeks of starting.
