Pros

A good opportunity to get those extra notches on your resume.

Cons

It felt like every other week or so someone was disappearing here. Rather than help people grow into their positions it seemed management would just react and fire people immediately. As far as performance reviews go, there really was no formal review process. It's basically whatever management felt like telling you at the spur of the moment. One week they'll tell you you're doing a great job but a few days later, if it benefits them, they' tell you thee exact opposite and then just put you on the chopping block because they feel like it.

Pros

Working here will help your portfolio and your resume. You get to work on some great, creatively satisfying projects. Everyone around you is extremely talented. The name really says it all, it's a design boot camp.

Cons

- Shockingly high turnover rate. It's unusual for employees to stay longer than a year. - Openly hostile interactions between leadership, and between leadership and employees. Creates an uncomfortable working environment. - Employees are consistently expected to work free overtime, to the extent of being fearful for your job if you don't. - Compensation is considerably lower than other companies in the area. - Projects are not proofed before going to the client, often resulting in errors in print. - Very disorganized project management. - Little to no interaction between employee and client. Decisions are made blindly. - Clients have been lost due to poor working relationships. - Very behind on current web / digital practices. - Leadership's source of motivation is only to win awards.
