Pros

Loved the work itself, as well as the customers

Cons

Where to start? Being gaslit, crying from being yelled at, and overall belittled was how I spent most if not every day. This was all from the owner. Any pros, such as vacations, sick days(not paid or anything), work provided lunches, etc. are minimal, but held over your head later on if you get them. One second you’re doing “great work” and “being a team player” and 5 minutes later you’re getting screamed and yelled at for not working hard enough. I have worked at other businesses and have never in my life been yelled at by my higher ups. The owner likes to throw around the “I’m going to sue you” line a TON. When she talks about her “attorneys”, it’s her brother. I had the title of Graphic Designer, but expect to be graphic designer, sales, custodian, installer, customer service, IT, and more But still only get payment for one job and then getting yelled at if you don’t complete every single item in a single day. Lunches are 30 minutes and not a minute longer, which is understandable. But when the owner leaves for hours at a time for lunch and shopping trips in the middle of the day, it’s not the best example. When asking for vacation time or sick days you are made to feel like you are ruining the company by having that time off. Then the owner will take multiple week long vacations to Florida and rant and rave about them when she gets back. Meanwhile, you sit there not having had a vacation in a year because you aren’t given the time off. If you call in sick once, you will be belittled about it for a week on how you’ve put everything and everyone in a bind. I could go on, but I won’t. I will just leave it with this being the worst job experience I’ve ever had. I am so happy I am at a place that I don’t go to and leave just in tears every day.

Pros

Worked with very local clients in all sizes. Quick turnaround times were expected.

Cons

Very unorganized in the management of project tickets. Bias in quoting based on the client company's size, especially when outsourcing the printing.
