Pros
Company has a great product Working with non-upper management people who are passionate about anime
Cons
CEO and COO do not know how to run a company (inexperienced and unprofessional) Lack of leadership (CEO refuses to hire directors to avoid having people question his authority. As a result, 3 departments have no director) Lack of entertainment focused management (CEO and COO do not have an entertainment background and their hesitation to make decisions affect the work of the department) Micro-managing environment "Manage up" - A common term used to tell you that a delay is your fault, because of your lack of effort to remind your manager to approve your work. Bottle necked approval process (CEO must approve everything but will approve the documents weeks/months later) Lack of proper processes and procedures Low pay and bonuses for work done will be given to you years later HR department lacks the "human" aspect, and there to only fire employees or defend management for their abuse High turnover rate (at least 40% off staff either left or were let go within a year) During Anime Expo, you will work long hours and managers will encourage you to lie on your timecard to avoid scolding from HR
