- Trust between the artists and management seems to be a big concern. Creating an odd divide between the art team and the management team.
- Main management 'seem' distant, they provide an open door policy but it seems artists don't meet eye to eye with most of management.
- Management of course are working to fix certain problems, but this is not being communicated to the artists effectively, so the artists feel left in the dark on certain concerns.
- The area where the studio is, is a ghost town, for any young graduates, living near the studio is depressing. Car or not, there is not much to do.
- Juniors just joining, are thrown into the deep end on projects. In some cases, thrown onto very very demanding deadlines for their first task.
- Certain producers have been very *very* stressful to the artists they work over, making artists uncomfortable and overly stressed because of the pressure the producer has constantly put on them.
- There is not enough senior level artists at the studio, making the office feel like a University experience at times, juniors teaching juniors, and no seniors available to give feedback. And the seniors that are available are stretched thin having to help so many juniors that joined.
- Too many new juniors, it's getting embarrassing. I understand growth for a company, but if you keep adding level 1 artists and never get any more experienced artists at the studio, skills aren't going to advance.
Some artists have been dealt a bad hand; artists employed as character artists being promised character work outside of just hair work - have done nothing but hair work for even up until a year. Absolutely nothing against creating hair and how impressive it is, but to some artists, they feel lied to and as if their career has been put on hold. If you are applying here as a character artist, there is a likely chance you'll be on nothing but hair for even up until a year.
Take all these cons with a pinch of salt, as these problems vary from artist to artist.
