Horrible Management - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Legacy Effects

Fun people to work with, and truly a place where movie magic comes to life.

Not having more time to work on fun projects.

Expects high quality and high standards, has the best materials and offers an environment that fabricators can create a top tier product. Has a reputation of getting big name projects.

Dead end. Skills, performance are not rewarded. There is absolutely no room for advancement. My lengthy experience has taught me pay raises are non existent. A huge amount of politics amongst employees and owners, favoritism, turf battles. Most employees are scared of being laid off. The politics in the shop is the worst part. Credit on projects is typically a political reward and usually isn't offered to the artists that do the fabrication. Turf battles amongst departments prevents employees from engaging in other aspects of fabrication and employees are scared of other employees learning new skills and joining new departments even temporarily because it threatens their job. The worst part is the favoritism and after many years of employment realizing there is absolutely no growth allowed. The company expected and relied on a tremendous amount of volunteer unpaid overtime, but never rewarded many of it's freelance artists with permanent employment or advancement. Favoritism is a big problem.
