Kyoto Animation is distinguished from other studios for its preferential treatment of employees. Like [[Studio Ghibli]], they pay their employees salaries instead of hiring part time employees and paying them on a piecework basis. Salaries at the studio are usually double of the rest of the industry. A visit to the [https://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/recruit/public/professional/ company's website] shows you full time employees earn 202,000 yen ($1549.74 USD) a month, along with commuting allowance and social benefits.
