Pros

Working alongside the prepress operators and designer.

Cons

If I could give them zero stars, I would. I worked for them for several months, and it was the most stressful, anxiety-ridden nightmare. The owner, Sam Hess, would joke about FIRING his employees (one of the many reasons why a press operator had quit while I worked there). When I was hired as a production artist, I loved working there in the beginning, however, over the next several months I noticed that the owner had favorites and if you are not a favorite, then you do not exist. Great example: he will get up from the break room and leave the room as soon as you sit down. He treats his employees with LITTLE to NO respect. If you mess up in any shape or form, Sam will ignore you until you apologize to him. And not in a "I'm sorry, it won't happen again" type conversation. I mean, you're begging for job security. Not only would Sam blame others for his mistakes, he was and is a BULLY. I've worked for mediocre bosses, and even great ones but he takes the crown as the worst employer I've ever worked for. I tell everyone who is needing a great printing company to look elsewhere.

Pros

Location, free downtown parking, small company

Cons

Family-owned francise: which sounds like a positive at first, but ended up making for a very toxic work enviorment for those not related. Micro-management, daily. There is absolutly no room for error, the expectations are way too high to produce a perfect product every single time. Although, I think that is a great goal, there needs to be a realistic expectation, especially during the training process.

Pros

Great opportunity to gain design work experience, build relationships with customers and companies, gain problem solving and time management skills for print projects.

Cons

There was over a 6-week (almost 7-week) period that my employer, the owner of this particular store, did not pay me or my other coworkers. He presented me with late checks during this time but they always bounced... This caused financial hardship on me and my coworkers. It also extremely brought down store moral in the store. Not to mention that it is very illegal to do so. I had to leave and find work elsewhere after less than a year.
