Pros

Great base salary. Good healthcare package. Nice people and very friendly environment.

Cons

Bad communication from management to sales level. Poor communication between production dept. and sales. Not good setup for sales to work directly with graphic designers. No face-to-face talk. Only thru webproofing. Although great base salary, bad commission plan because capped out at 120%. No incentive to exceed 120%. Sales Force is unionized so when layoffs happen, they pull from the bottom & most lease seniored, even though the least seniored person may be a harder worker than the others.

No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
