Business Outlook

Pros

The pay and the knowledge of the how to survey is there but its not relayed to any one at all.

Cons

The guys don't communicate very well. They don't ask you to go out of town, you just get an email saying you have a hotel conformation. They tell you to work harder but they don't tell what you need to work harder at and the crew chiefs don't talk to you really. THEY JUST DONT COMMU IRATE AT ALL!!!!

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to gain design experience with all types of materials from day one. Encourages employee growth and client contact. Allows you to pursue your passion. Laid back and creative work environment.

Cons

Have found myself kind of stuck in my position for the last year since company is currently top heavy with middle management. Sometimes can get overwhelmed with deadlines that seem unrealistic, and sometimes do not get project support due lack of staff.
