Graphic Designer - Anonymous employee Awchat & Olsen Design Employee Review

-Small studio so plenty of opportunity -Great if you are looking for something steady -Great if you are starting out and need experience and guidance -Will get at least two portfolio pieces for each year you work here if you play your cards right -Reasonable upper management

-Work is safe and predictable -Not for the avant garde, the explorers or the experimental -Too caught up in trends and "inspiration"; little room for originality -Pay is whatever...ok if you are early twenties

Great for designers with limited experience to work on a variety of print/digital projects from start to finish. Encouragement from the management to take on full responsibility of projects from the beginning. Interesting clients.

Not enough brainstorming sessions before the design stage.
