Graphic Designer - Graphic Designer Slicks Graphics Employee Review

There is always something to learn. Plenty of room for growth. Fun place to work. A great company that takes pride in its work. You get to see your designs out in the real world.

Sometimes the hours can be a bit long, but in the end, the team comes together to create an amazing product for the customer

-One good manager who ran everything and was helpful -got some graphic design experience -widened my skill set

-did not get experience with a real shop because i was alone every day -blame game -owner is basically absent in most situations -treat employees with no respect -was never given benefits even though i worked for almost an entire year I was hired as an entry level position to help at the sister location. By week two I was running the shop by myself with little to no instruction/training. Upper management is a mess, no one knows what’s going on and they hire secretaries who can’t read calendars. Trying to get a hold of upper management for instruction was almost impossible. I was never informed when clients would be coming in to have work done and then management would proceed to penalize me for the customers dissatisfaction. I had to use money out of my own pocket to make change for customers because price was not discussed until customer would pickup. I would then have to hound management to receive my money back. They don’t offer benefits or sick time in the first year of employment. I worked here for 363 days due to receive benefits on the 365th. I was “let go” in order to not be paid out the benefits that were owed to me. Slicks Graphics had me in a constant state of fear for my job and making even the most minor mistakes. Slicks Graphics had me coming home in tears more days than not. After I was let go Slicks Graphics lied to the state of NJ about the nature of my firing. Delaying my unemployment benefits by multiple weeks, so even when I was not an employee anymore I was still being penalized by the owner. When the owner would come into the shop I worked at he would drink on the job as well. I would not recommend working at this company.
