Pros

Health benefits. The leaders in this building care- They are involved in any way needed and that should set an example for others. People are always going to complain for what they dont have or cant get and some will never be happy. The small gossip is always going to go on, but if people would take a moment to see how far we have come, and look at the changes that have come in the last 4-5 years compared to the revolving door before they should realize. I am excited for the growth coming our way, and for the steps they have taken to help make us stronger and more competitive. Trying to change a culture that’s been here for a long time takes a long time.

Cons

Would be nice to have more company holidays (MLK, Presidents etc) Wish there was more opportunities for bonus. Processes are still a challenge, and our creative tend to design over budget more often than not. Some staff are too busy trying to find things to pick at and complain about instead of looking at the positives which IMO far outweigh the negatives, but you cant get away from that at any company.

Pros

Derse is abundant in great minds and talent. The level of inspiration and creativity within the design community is refreshing and trendsetting. In the four years that I have worked with Derse, my designs have improved significantly and my professional and individual growth has been rewarding. In addition, the collaboration between interoffice communities and management is healthy and always fosters a positive workspace. I feel fortunate my career path led to Derse!

Cons

Due to the trade show arena in which we work in, project timelines can often be fast paced.
