Pros

- learned some adobe illustrator techniques/shortcuts from peers - other illustrators are nice - the work is interesting if they give it

Cons

Every problem stems from the leadership/management of the company and their defective operations. The owner and his wife who are in charge are friendly when you start, but they have deep mistrust in their employees and are extraordinarily hypocritical. They are quick to place blame on illustrators for issues that should have been prevented or caught by management. The owner is immature, unprofessional, and comically difficult to communicate/work with. There is no training/onboarding that isn’t outdated, which creates issue after issue that could have been prevented. There are no job titles or official duties/responsibilities for any position in writing, which allows the owners to ask employees to do more than what they pay them for. Instead of investing in or listening to their workers/illustrators they blindly accuse them of lying or intentionally hurting the company which doesn’t make sense. This is also NOT a stable job. When the workload is light they will tell people to not clock in and unless you use pto you won’t be paid that day. Sometimes you could be not working for a whole week.
