Pros

The office had plenty of parking.

Cons

Long hours, little pay and disorganized "leaders". The principal would walk around with a baseball bat, bragging about getting drunk every single night. It was pathetic that they let someone like this run an office. He would get drunk at night and start editing CAD files thinking he knew what he was doing only to mess everything up. CAD designers would spend hours fixing his screw ups. Team leader would forget he promised a client a prelim site plan until one hour before it was due and then blame his designers when it wasn't done on time. Edit: Bohler noticed my review and is harassing me trying to get me to remove it.

Pros

It's clear the leaders care about the employees. It's not perfect, but I have been able to influence positive change here.

Cons

Clients can be demanding and it can be a grind to hit deadlines. That's the industry though.

Pros

Fantastic exposure to programmatic projects (Chick-fil-A, 7/11, Walmart, etc), great Cad templates and training resources. Got to work with some great people.

Cons

Your hours will be heavily scrutinized and you will have very little flexibility with WFH. Designers get blamed for managers’ mistakes, do not play their mind game. What you put out is never good enough for them. They’d rather you sacrifice quality for quantity.
