Pros

accessibility, no communication barriers, and employees are nice

Cons

The leadership at the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center is terrible. They don't know what they're doing, and there's high turnover because the leadership is difficult to work with. There are issues with poor planning, unhappy employees, and a tense, toxic workplace. They do not embrace neurodiversity, and HR is not a helpful resource.

Pros

Excellent federal-style benefits package, including comprehensive health coverage, generous tuition remission for family, and solid retirement options. As a videographer, I love contributing to visually dynamic projects that support the Deaf community, like animated videos for university events and accessibility tools. The bilingual (ASL/English) workplace fosters true inclusion and collaboration—it's inspiring to work alongside diverse creatives. Plenty of professional growth through hands-on media design work, and the campus's DeafSpace features make daily tasks more intuitive and efficient.

Cons

Compensation is on the lower end compared to private sector design roles, which can feel limiting for specialized motion graphics skills. Work-life balance is tricky due to high expectations for quick-turnaround projects, especially during peak academic seasons. Some departments could improve processes for remote collaboration, as not everything transitioned smoothly post-pandemic.
