Pros

-Boss would leave around 1pm daily, removing a ton of unnecessary stress -From 1pm on you would actually have time to get the mountain of daily orders done without constant interruptions. -You could cut yourself some vynil stickers on scraps on free time ( Not that you have any free time to being with) -Weekends off -9-5pm

Cons

-Franchise, Respect for employees is irrelevant. Profit over respect -You will be worked to the bone. $15 business cards are more important that 4k jobs -Bottom feeders. They will take any and every job that comes in, no matter how out of scope to make a quick buck. Oftentimes these jobs will be taken as a rush order and completely throw workflow out of whack. -Understaffed. One person designing on a 15 year old computer and running the printer and helping staff in the back is too much of a workload -You will be gaslit. You are working too slow, this is not too much of a workload, its you. You are just too slow. 20 + orders a day is totally normal to make, proof, make edits, make more edits and proofs and produce X 20+. The issue is you. Everything here runs like a swiss watch. You are just too slow. What is the problem? What do you mean you can't upscale this 3"x3" picture to a 8x12ft banner? The old designer that quit could do it! He did all these orders no problem! Its you! Right.....that's why he quit. -You will NEVER receive ANY acknowledgement when you give 200% and pull together projects and go above and beyond. Not even a good job. "You set the expectation too high and they will expect these results everytime" LOLWUT -FRANCHISE. You are dealing with ONE personality, and 3 loyal followers. Professionalism? LOL

Pros

Interesting industry to learn about.

Cons

Working at Fastsigns was an extremely stressful experience. Days were either overwhelmingly busy or completely unproductive, with very little balance. The environment was highly disorganized, with poor management and employees contributing to a chaotic atmosphere. As a franchise, there is no corporate oversight or HR department, leaving employees entirely at the mercy of the owner. In my experience, this created significant challenges, as complaints were rarely taken seriously, and micromanagement was pervasive. Customers could also be verbally abusive, and management offered little to no support in dealing with these situations. The workplace culture felt toxic and unprofessional. Inappropriate comments and offensive “jokes” were commonplace and were often brushed off as harmless, even when they were clearly not. This created an uncomfortable and, at times, hostile environment, particularly for minorities, POC, and women. There was a clear lack of accountability, and professional boundaries were often ignored. On top of these issues, commissions that were promised were never paid, and the so-called “bonuses” were negligible. There were no benefits of any kind, making it difficult to find value in the role. This job might be suitable for someone fresh out of high school looking for basic work experience, but for anyone seeking a professional, respectful workplace, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I couldn’t leave this place fast enough.
