Pros

-Good experience for recent grads/low level experience to learn drafting and office atmosphere -Job requires 40 hours, sometimes slightly more, but rarely more than 8 hour days -Decent healthcare (slightly more expensive than other places I've worked) and good 401K plan for full time employees

Cons

-Salary tier between recent grads/associate level and project managers is laughable -Management showed COMPLETE unwillingness to expand their design clientele during Covid19 to accommodate market realities - in albeit unprecedented circumstances - which underlines an unimaginative approach adverse to taking risks and betting on the quality of their people. It further illustrates management's ineptitude of empowering middle management to grow and diversify, both personally and for the design language of clientele, which in many cases continues to use antiquated solutions to solve problems -Management continually competes with itself on job fees in a race-to-the-bottom atmosphere that encourages corporate clients to ask for more output for less $$$, handcuffing managers to meet unrealistic goals or face scrutiny for overbudget projects -Additional Certifications, Licensure, or Personal Career Advancement Means Zero to "Management" -Management has zero trust in employees bordering on belief their employees exhibit kleptomania - making simple tasks like downloading job site photos an ordeal -Limited design focus for corporate clients who share a level of imagination with fire hydrants
