Pros

Honestly? I liked the work. Folding shirts, packaging, screen-printing, Dye-sub, it was all enjoyable, meditative, physical work. My coworkers were chill, both the younger ones and the older ones. Once I knew what I was doing, I enjoyed my tasks. I didn't actually end up doing any computer graphic design work, if you're wondering, but that was fine. I like folding shirts well enough. Also, this is a low bar to clear, but when I was off the clock I was off the clock. I wasn't asked to do more work than that.

Cons

That said, the communication was not great. I spent a lot of time, standing around, not knowing what to do because the only one who knew what I should be doing was the Boss, and he wasn't around all the time, and was sometimes hard to find. I had to do so much meaningless busywork just to keep myself from getting bored. On top of that, the Boss had an occasional mean-streak. He'd sometimes humiliate his employees, he'd pick fights with some of my coworkers if he knew how to get under their skin, being around him often felt volatile and uncomfortable. I had a couple weird interactions with him too. I was also always throwing out his half-drunk sodas. Like, c'mon, man. This is supposed to be a place of business.

Pros

Reasonably flexible hours that aid in the acclimation process of the typical work week schedule, whether that be the usual 9 - 5 or even 8 - 4, also permits a night shift depending on position/department. Chill and relaxed working environment with good, supportive co-workers. Highly recommended for those who need a solid starting point to gain experience in their respective field.

Cons

There are times where there can be miscommunications in the chain of command for certain tasks, but these are usually resolved with little to no issues.
