Pros

Friendly people, located in Chelsea Market next to the high line, Pay is low to average . fairly stress free environment.

Cons

Cancellation policy sucks. When they book you in operations (post production) they put you on hold and many times they cancel you with only 12 hours notice and no compensation. There are times they have booked you (put on hold) for weeks and will cancel you for the week the day before you go in without any compensation. I have questioned this and you end up getting penalized by not getting booked
