Bardel Entertainment

When I joined Bardel Entertainment I started a new role in my career.
This felt a bit intimidating but very quickly I felt comfortable, as they had a huge library of training resources as well as the support of my team mates and supervisors.
I worked at Bardel remotely so I was working from home, but this was never an issue when it comes to communication with peers and other departments in the company.
I felt I was learning new techniques and skills on a daily basis.
There were a couple of moments of stress as I felt I had too much work on my plate, but very soon the coordinators were able to re arrange the general workload no problem.
The most enjoyable part of the work was to work with my team mates, again, despite it working from home. 
The hardest part of working here were the short term projects and contracts. I wish I had been able to remain at this company for a longer period of time.

My experience with this company has given me nothing but traumatizing memories due to the poor management and threatening behaviour from my superiors. When I was hired as a junior animator, I was still learning my position and was called in and was essentially interrogated, belittled, asked if I had a learning disability by my former boss. The worst part about it was HR was in the meeting, and my boss had one eye on me and one eye on the HR assistant... and I felt I had no power to report any mismanagement by my boss other wise I felt I was going to be fired. I felt used, and felt like this company didn't care about their employees and are only interested in intimidating them for their own sick power egos. TERRIBLE

The team I was on was pretty ok, but there were many problems with many of the other productions. I had many friends working insanely excessive hours for months with very little compensation. Not only was it the entire team, but it took many months and a complete overhaul before things got fixed and work and schedules were normalized. I still don't think the people were compensated for the 6 day work week and the 10+ hour days. Also pay from each team was not balanced. My team was paid much more for less work than the aforementioned team.

I also was given no notice of the studio "losing the show" I worked on and no chance to move to another team or another production.

Its a mess of management. no one knows what they are doing. when they do no one follows the instructions correctly.

during my time there we lost 3-4 production coordinators, our contract fell through due to the lack of structured leadership. the leads for individual teams were good but the communication from bottom to top would take weeks and easily preventable things happened because of it. 

The people there are super nice, helpful, and always there for you.
until they don't respond to your emails for a month and take on to much work to stay productive.

Bardel pulls in plenty of interesting and fun projects, and the salary is generally fair for standard work. The environment is fun and many of Management are approachable.  

Where the studio falters is the inability to secure reasonable schedules and project scopes, usually ending up causing project employees to have little to no work/life balance.  At times too, it feels like the different departments in the pipelines are not communicating with each other, causing plenty of delay and headache

Typically I found that most days would be 9-5 hours but some departments would get swamped and be would be doing 10 - 12 hour days on a regular basis. This usually only happened on unorganized productions otherwise hours are good. 
The pay is average for the industry but they have some good perks like sick days and benefits. In general the culture is good and the environment is positive. 
One other downside is that on the first floor the temperature can get pretty low in the winter.

You HAVE to know the software. The supervisors do not have time to teach you. No mentorship. Is NOT supportive of individuals with mental health concerns. Worked overtime every weekend and went above and beyond what was required of me and then got let go. They don't care about work life balance. All the care about is the quota. 
DO NOT WORK HERE.

Bardel has the most interesting and highest quality features and series in the industry. They also foster artist development and ensure everyone has a work/life balance. The executive team is filled with highly experienced members. 

everything was fine.
but  all contract employee
people come and go
I had a great experience working at this company. The team was supportive, and I felt valued in my role. Management was approachable and open to feedback. I learned a lot during my time here and grew professionally. The work environment was fast-paced but encouraging. Overall, I would highly recommend this company to others looking for growth and a healthy team culture.


The management at this company dont care about their contracters. They cut you down and keep a lazy eye on their projects even though there is a very heavy load under their belt they blame their workers instead of themselves. The office is a sweat shop and the management is disorganized and has fallen apart several times through out he companies recent history
