Pros

great industry, great art department and sales team.

Cons

I took this job excited about the career change. The Truth is the signs were all there. My interview was scheduled at 9 am I arrived early and it lasted 4 hours. The VP of sales (Rose Oldenkamp) had me wait while she cooked breakfast. Note my interview was on a Saturday. I was hired the same day and I agreed to the set Salary. She truly made this seem like a great opportunity, my mistake was not researching this company. First day I began training... A couple hours later this woman come down and begins this meeting with staff. Insulting them, telling them that if they "if you do not have a brain you don't belong in my company" as I said the signs were there from the beginning. She took a huge interest in my personal life and began to insinuate I had a crush on my trainer or vise versa. She made it clear it was her company policy that we do not speak about anything personal and that we were not to have each others contact info. We were not allowed to interact outside of work. Everything related back to her company policy which employees were not allowed to have a copy of the policies or manual. There is so much more this is a very hostile low moral work place. If you are looking for a job I would not recommend this business

Pros

Even though I had been a stay-at-home mother for the past 3 years, the owner, Rose, saw through my tests and resume that I was well qualified for the position I was hired for. As, of now, I have been working for Color Ad for approx. 2 months and I love it. It is precisely the type of company I was looking for after having been on such a long hiatus from the workforce. The fast paced, yet easy going work environment makes the work day smooth. Rose, along with the other employees, and now myself, we create a dynamic team that is able to boast of the accomplishments and successes of the company. We strive to provide a high quality product as well as phenomenal customer service. I am more than pleased to be an employee here at Color Ad and look forward to growth and advancement with this wonderful company.

Cons

The work day is a tad more lengthy than your normal 9-5, however, that is to be expected with the high volume of work that the #1 ad agency in the nation receives on a daily basis. And, not only am I well compensated for the talents I bring to the company, I am well compensated for my time. It is not one of those jobs where you stare at the clock and wait for the day to be over. And even at an entry level position, I am cross trained to be an intricate part of multiple departments.
