Pros
Back in the day, this was a pioneering educational video publisher that was an industry leader and innovator. Known at the time as Films for the Humanities & Sciences, located near Princeton, NJ, we were blessed with some of the smartest, most creative people I've been around. You'd never get rich there and, being a small company, there wasn't much of a career ladder. But it was a collaborative, respectful, humane environment. The single best place I ever worked.
Cons
It doesn't exist any more. Sold in 2007 to Infobase Publishing and relocated to NYC, it is just an imprint now, with only a handful of employees from the original company. The culture there could not be any more different. If you are considering a position with Films Media Group, I strongly suggest you look up Infobase Publishing on this site before moving ahead.

Pros
The managers at Films are an excellent breed of people to work with. With the exception of one or two who are jerks, the rest of the people at films are very nice and friendly people. There was never a time where I felt any hostility working there and by far I felt comfortable speaking to everyone in that place.
Cons
First, things can never get done at Films. The company is in dire need of a new video intro, but because they choose to decide via committee. Also the compensation and benefits is absolutely horrendous! You have to pay a ridiculous amount of money out of pocket to receive health care benefits, don't receive overtime pay, and get paid very little as it is due to budget constraints. They also do not fairly compensate creative team members who come up with a new idea to enhance the brand and company.
