Pros

We got a thirty min. lunch, that was nice.

Cons

The normal work week consisted of a 12 hour shift, with a half an hour unpaid lunch break and two ten minute breaks. We worked 7-days a week, 12 hours a day. When we complained we were told that we needed to work or else we might lose our client and thus our jobs. We couldn't use our phones, we were told that we had fifty minutes to take care of our business. Which normally would be understandable, however when you're working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week how are you supposed to take care of normal life things? I had to take a sick day in order to do my taxes. Additionally, the managers were terrible, often times taking assignments away without explanation, yelling at the employees, and gossiping about other employees behind their backs. They would never let us know if we were going to be working over the weekend till typically friday, although you could basically count on it, since we worked most weekends. All-in-all I felt used, and unappreciated. The pay was substandard for the work, and the environment was toxic.

Pros

- The workers on the floor were amazing, they were always encouraging and supportive amongst each other. It truly felt like a family when we were actually allowed to speak to one another while at work. A handful that have been in the business 30+ years and would always advise me to "get out while I still could". I did, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. - The images that we were working on were fun and challenging, I enjoyed the creative aspect.

Cons

- No work/life balance (12-14 hour shifts / 7 days a week are what should be expected with a normal 8 hour / 5 day week thrown in every 4 months.) - Rude management, often will speak poorly and reveal personal information about staff members (gossip is very common among the female management) - Run like a factory, often you are taken off your break or lunch to get back to work. Any chatter amongst the workers is shushed by management on the floor. - Do not appreciate loyal hard workers, they take advantage of their willingness to get the job done by making them work longer hours.
