      I worked at World Of Wonder Productions full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Gained great experience in reality TV production and creative producing, met some awesome people, was allowed to voice my input on a variety of things.

      Cons

      Support from production management was lacking and pay was on the lower end of the scale.

      Advice to Management

      Please reward the hard workers who want to learn and grow

      Pros

      Centrally located in Hollywood. Have produced some cool shows and movies.

      Cons

      Hire inexperienced office staff to save money. Only pay for half of parking costs for employees. Pay below the going rate.

      Advice to Management

      Hire experienced office staff and pay going rate - don't undercut the people that produce your product.

      I have been working at World Of Wonder Productions (Less than a year)

      Pros

      This is a well run company. Every necessary position is filled. The budgets are lean, everyone works hard, but no one is doing two jobs. Equipment and positions that are needed are present. The people are kind and understanding, but with requisite deadlines.

      Cons

      The building is old, so the air-conditioning can get funky when it's hot. The edit bays on the second floor are small. It's a little crowded, which can get loud. The bull-pen aspect is great for collaboration, though.

      Advice to Management

      Spend a million dollars and move out of the building for six months and then upgrade it, and then move back in. But I know that's impossible!

      I worked at World Of Wonder Productions full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Get some experience and get out.....
      Some nice people work there but they get jaded quickly by the toxic environment....
      If you do a good job you will probably be left alone to get on with it but may not be rewarded

      Cons

      Low pay, selfish and cliquey culture.....hard to progress unless you suck up to the right cool in group...

      Advice to Management

      Fire the managers

      I worked at World Of Wonder Productions full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      World of Wonder is a small, close knit, community of producers, and documentarians whose subject matter is often on the fringe of normal programming. Great place to gain experience in all facets of production while learning on the job. Definitely sensitive to the balance of work and life. Huge pro there.

      Cons

      Promoting from within sometimes leads to titles that don't match experience levels. There are many seasoned vets under this roof, but also several folks with inflated titles.

      I worked at World Of Wonder Productions as a contractor (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Good company, organized, great staff, knowledgable individuals with the desire to perform to the best of their abilities. Communication was good.

      Cons

      The only con I can find is financial. Pay scale was about 10-15% lower than most production companies and they did not compensate for overtime.

      Advice to Management

      Honestly, the crew was great. I had a good experience with World of Wonder. I would work for them again should they call upon me.
