Pros

Variety of work for mid-size firm

Cons

High turn around rate. 3 people "left" during my first 2 months and everyone in my group of 4 designers are no longer there. Management/owner is untrustworthy and salary is below most firms of this size.

Pros

You will get a paycheck (low salary but a paycheck nonetheless)

Cons

-Inadequate Technology -Constant Mood Swing from Principal -Favoritism among employees -No Bonuses -401 K business share masked as "bonus" that you can't take out unless you work there for 5 years -No HR -Expect to be told " I don't want anyone to work late" but then receive periodical emails asking you to " put extra time" -Expect to be told there will be "crunch time" around April, but "crunch time" is year long -Cheap Principal, will make you bring your own lunch during office lunch and learns, even though you are giving away your lunch -Guilt trips - Bursts of passive aggressiveness from Principal -No other real benefits except the cheapest health insurance that he pays for (not worth it) - Boring Projects - No one has the same version of outlook so outlook doesn't work properly - Hires people as consultants for the first 3 months in order to evade paying for health insurance and benefits -Everyone does everything, draft, project management, billing, etc ( he makes it seem like a positive thing but you'll quickly realize it's not)

Pros

junior level staff get project management experience small firm allows wide breadth of experience immediately, allows mentorship employees are generally friendly and pleasant a short stint might be beneficial to junior designers to gain experience, but not totally worth the work environment

Cons

violent mood swings of ceo praise not offered as readily as criticism, bashing, lecturing, ranting ceo and leaders expect overtime without pay work is piled onto junior staff, emotional tolls of unfair treatment to junior staff leaders not considerate of others’ time, late to own meetings, will distribute “urgent” work 10 minutes before eod ceo and leaders use manipulation and dishonesty to get work done or to get terms agreed by staff cheap ceo, always trying to cut $ corners
