Most people will not make more than $30K no matter how long they work for this company

Account manager/graphic designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Since the management is never around taking time off for doctors appointments or family emergencies, etc, is very easy to do.

Cons

The glass ceiling is about 2" above your head. Advancement is basically an unreal expectation unless you own the business. After 5 years my salary is a pittance, especially after bringing in over $400K in under 2 years at my newest location. This is a franchise, so the owners (who had to have over $200K in liquid assets to even be considered for buying the franchise) basically only care about their own bottom lines. I've never had a boss who understood that a basic living wage is needed, nor ever had a regularly scheduled review done on time, and a raise is generally $0.50 ever year or year and a half.

No vacation, high turnover and quick burnout

Graphic designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Its a job You get a “bonus” with every check that is supposedly a profit share of sales but its a static amount of $145 every time

Cons

Expectation to install, design, print, wrap, and anything else they can get you to do without any increases in pay. No vacation or sick leave. Only paid holidays are the ones they are legally required to give you. It’s honestly an awful place to work and I wouldn’t suggest anyone work there unless you absolutely need the job. They repeatedly post on Indeed because their turnover is so high. I’ve never gone on there and not seen a new post within the past two weeks.
