Don't Waste your Time - Graphic Designer Sweda Company Employee Review

The company runs like an Anarchy and Upper Management does not let you think otherwise. There are major control issues between all the executives and abuse of power. Departments are dysfunctional and in desperate need of help, rendering the business handicapped. Company lacks communication and leadership. CEO is switched back to Jim Hagan who does not see fault in how he runs the business or the teams he oversees. You are overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated. Company does not believe in valuing their employees. Raises haven't been given in years and there is no room for growth. Position "requires" you to work both Saturdays and Sundays, 8 hours +, for a span of at least a month to finish designing the yearly Catalog, which would not happen, if said leadership existed. If you do not work over the weekend, it is look down upon. Normal business days Mon-Fri, during this time, are 10 hours+. You are put under enormous amounts of pressure and these sacrifices are simply not equivalent to what they pay you, even with all the overtime pay. They give you a pat on the back and thats about it. Once they sense that you are not conforming to their liking, they have no issue with letting you go. These abnormal work habits are not mentioned during the interview process either. Position are often filled with unqualified people who somehow get hired on, the overflow of their work piles onto the graphic designers. who seem to be the ones picking up the pace most of the time. HR clearly is not working towards the betterment of the company and needs an attitude adjustment. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else more worthy.
