Pros

A great place to meet some of the best designers (graphic) and learn cutting edge printing techniques and meet really good people. Cool brands and a discount on the levis and nike's. Office supply's a plenty. They have what you need when you want it.

Cons

Too many pointless meetings that drain the creative direction out of you. Meetings should only include the on point person or people it directly needs. Looks of disgust when your leaving on time. Management in the creative area was a total joke. If you were not the robot they want, your gone. No matter how creative you are. As for our leaders in the creative and sales area, your lack of understanding how "quick" it is to design shows how naive you really are. A common question among all of the creative area was how these people got these top positions. The cleaning staff had more brains and understanding than these two people that everyone would trash talk. MM and JS are not the leaders they think they are but just the common programmed robots with no brains.

Pros

The holiday party. Oh wait, it’s on a Tuesday or Wednesday so no one can truly enjoy themselves, so nevermind! Absolutely no pros.

Cons

If I could change one thing in my life, it would be working at Haddad Brands. Coming straight out of college and it being your first job, you truly have no idea how warped working there is. The delusion and greed of the family should be studied-the workload and how they treat their employees is inhumane and honestly disgusting. A crash course is the hours are 8:30-5:30-giving them an extra hour of your life for absolutely no reason. You’re looked down upon if you take a break or step out, even just for a minute. You sit in a jail cell, with no windows, for 9 hours a day-elbow to elbow with the person next to you-and cameras watching and tracking your every move. The Haddads actively work to fire people (don’t be mistaken I wasn’t one of those people-getting a new job was probably one of the best days of my life)-who they consider to be ‘C Class Players’ which is anyone who doesn’t dedicate blood, sweat, tears and overtime to them. All you do is make them money but when it comes time for raises, promotions, benefits etc., they can’t put their money where their mouth is. The work is genuinely not even close to manageable-no matter how hard you work-and everything is under a microscope and scrutiny. The work from home days that have now dwindled into basically zero is laughable and there is no work life balance whatsoever. Just know that if you work at Haddad, you will be worked like a dog-no ifs, ands or buts.
