Pros

While my experience was unfavorable there are definite reasons why one would be attracted to working here. If you like science, are driven to obtain experience with live events and overall want to get a glimpse into production you'd think this should be where you plant yourself. I say 'think.' Don't do it. Read below.

Cons

I was hired on a contract basis as many of the staff is here. I received no benefits and was given an end date that fluctuated but this was a mutual understanding and I was fine with this. What I wasn't prepared for was the complete and utter disrespect for individuality or any point-of-view other than the two figures at the top of food chain. If they didn't agree with you, which in my case was more often than not, they would yell, embarrass and basically make you doubt any talent or intelligence you thought you possessed. I've never witnessed anything like it before. Thankfully for both parties my term expired but there are many staff members still there that are dismayed, disheartened and disrespected. There are some positive reviews for the company on this site that I've read. But I would sincerely doubt their credibility. It is a widely know fact that management asked other management to write favorable reviews in order to balance out the negative ones. This is not right and I hope they discontinue this action. People looking for a job need to know the truth about a company. And now you have mine.

None. Toxic workplace. Stay away

These are the most miserable people I’ve ever met. No raise, no bonus, poor salary, abusive CEO.
