Only thing good about SMS or now FanBox is the location right in the heart of the Gaslamp. Other than that I would highly recommend not taking a job there, they go through layoffs every three months and the hours you're expected to work are ridiculous.

Layoffs every 3 months...I lasted 2 rounds of layoffs, and was caught up on the third (hmmm...strangely enough, right when I was due to receive my hiring bonus).
I knew something was up though, so I had already started interviewing elsewhere, and got a job within a couple of weeks of being laid off. If you ask around and keep your eyes and ears open, you find that there are VERY few people that have been around more than 3-4 months, and its NOT because they couldn't take it.
If you work there, get used to seeing people and even entire teams disappear by the time you come in the next morning, and hear management badmouth them the next morning.
