Pros

Full of really talented and fun artists who love what they do. High profile feature films blockbuster projects. Starting November 2016, even contract employees qualify for health care through company. Management supports a positive, artist friendly environment. Office staff are cool and friendly. Hands down, the coolest, most down to Earth CEO of any company I've worked for.

Cons

Pay rates seem frozen, so set your rate where you want it when you first get hired. Some pretty unpleasant personalities in Supervisor positions making job more stressful than it needs to be. A feeling of entitlement from casting who seem to expect artists to be on hold as long as it suits them. I know it's hard to juggle and cast so many artists on so many jobs, but 90% of artist are contract who come and go with about 1 to 2 days notice... There is an almost cult like "We're the best...Previs is the best...Third Floor is the best" vibe in the studio. It makes me wonder if some of the long time staff have Third Floor tattoos, like Nike employees get a 'swoosh' tattoo to show loyalty. If you are just there to work, it can feel kind of creepy. Crunch can get ridiculous. This is definitely a "Live to Work" job environment. If you love Marvel etc. you will love it. If not, it's just an industry job.

We appreciate you providing feedback here on Glassdoor as we’re always open to hearing the thoughts of our current and former employees. We take our culture and our artist friendly environment very seriously, and we know that we’re only as good as the talent we attract, develop and retain. I’m sorry that you’ve had a bad experience with a supervisor and as a current employee, I would encourage you to share that feedback more directly with a member of the HR team so we can explore your concerns in greater detail. The same is true with regard to your comment about pay rates being frozen and crunch. That word makes us cringe here at TTF! We make a very conscious and active effort to minimize employees having to work more than 45 hours a week and on weekends in order to ensure work/life balance. Sure, there will be times before or after a screening that we have to work longer or harder to ensure our client is happy, but it should be an exception and not the rule. Finally, as a general rule, a majority of our employees are actually staff, not project hires. We know that investing in the long-term success of our employees provides job security, career growth and overall happy folks. We want to hear your thoughts though so we can make things even better. It’s feedback like yours that will allow us to continue to improve. Again, please reach out to a member of the HR team as we’d love to address your specific concerns in person. Thanks again for sharing!

Pros

Extremely artist friendly and nice work environment.

Cons

A personal con is that it feels a little difficult to get better at animating or compositing since the bar for previs and postvis is not as high as finals.
