Pros

Can't think of one at all

Cons

-Unprofessional, back stabbing and toxic environment - Owned by a brother (who is a pig) and sister who do not get along, argue infront of employees and create the toxic environment. They were fed with silver spoons so they have no idea how to run the company and fly by the seat of their pants. They do not have any modern systems set in which they even know what is costs them to make their product, absolutely riduclous! - Most of the staff is incompetent you work with or happen to be family members so more work will rest on your shoulders once they know you're capable - Stopped paying for employee benefits/no raises - Once you leave Graphic Image and see how other companies are supposed to run, makes you wonder how they open their doors everyday - Dated procedures - Owners aren't willing to change the business model and grow with industry speed to market changes - their lines tend to be dated and boring. Every handbag looks like a box. But the owner can't take any advice nor does he fuel designer creativity - Illegals working in the factory attached to the building / building is definatinly not to code. They are OCEAs worst nightmare - Underpaid, overworked and unappreciative - By far has to be the worst job I've ever had in my career

Graphic Image has been producing its products in our own American factory for 40 years. As a family owned business, we strive to provide a positive work atmosphere that abides by Federal & State laws. We employ over 150 people, with a significant number of employees having tenures of 10 years or more. A surprisingly high number of employees who leave eventually ask to return. Our staff is an “A” team who share the challenges to create the highest quality products on our own soil. Unfortunately, those who cannot meet the high standards that have become our legacy cannot be successful members on our dynamic team.

Pros

Graphic Image and GiGi New York go hand in hand. They are technically two separate companies but occupy the same office space and factory, with the same CEO. Many employees work to support both brands. The products are all beautiful leather accessories, books and handbags. I have pride in the products and it is incredible to see them handmade in the adjoining factory. It's exciting to have a fashion brand on Long Island. Most employees are friendly. Hours are clearly stated. This is not a work-around-the-clock company. No micromanagement. No monthly reports. Very few meetings. (This can be both pro & con, particularly if you don't have intrinsic motivation to succeed.)

Cons

The company strategy essentially repeats what has worked prior years. New ideas are difficult to adopt as many employees have been with the company 10+ years. It's difficult to describe, but it seems there is an assumption that new people won't stay long. People that try to shake things up don't last. Clocking in and out as a salaried employee is new to me. However it encourages work/life balance I didn't have when I worked in the city.

Pros

I have read the former reviews and would like to state my opinion as an employee of over 10 years. Graphic Image is a wonderful place to work. The owners are flexible and caring. It takes strength and determination to make a business work while also accommodating over 100 employees needs. They are a family friendly business and take pride in making sure everyone puts their own families first before their jobs. Yes there are rules, and yes they have a handbook that must be followed by they are also flexible with schedules and unexpected life surprises. The owners are brother and sister and yes they do have disagreements but not more than any other typical President and Vice President at any other company. They are constantly trying new things and listening to the feedback of their employees. Please don’t believe the negative reviews from a few disgruntled employees that get bitter and angry for not getting their way and for actually being asked to preform a task they were hired to do and failed at. Take it from someone that has been there a very long time, if you are willing to work and try new things both owners will always help without question. They want you to succeed. Graphic Image has a great staff of individuals who are team players. Most of us are willing to jump in and do a job outside of our job description. And it always goes noticed with a Thank You.

Cons

The toilet paper in the bathroom is never in the right place.
