Business outlook
Pros
Small office in the heart of downtown Dallas, in walking distance from nearby restaurants for lunch. Pretty cool people, especially in the studio.
Cons
Management treats the studio like a sweat shop. Creative direction is either rigid or sketchy and vague. But expectations are extremely high considering the lack of real leadership. There is a sense of entitlement from management since they own the magazine. There's no getting around it. High stress, poor people skills, lack of (genuine) appreciation. If you're a worker bee, you'll do fine there. If you're an "out of the box" thinker, or have an ounce of creativity other than designing templates for a magazine, you'd do better in a creative environment. This isn't it.
