Pros

Benefits available. Small offices make for family oriented atmosphere. If you don't mind working extra hours, there was always an opportunity to make more money.

Cons

From a woman's perspective, because that is what I have to offer, it appeared that males were valued more than females. This gender inequality was evident even when men performed poorly. Standards were higher for women.

Pros

Very close-knit group of employees at my plant. My role involved close daily contact and interaction with Sales Executives, and this was a very positive experience. As a group, we went to ball games bowling and movies together, and everyone had fun and the guys were great. The art department at the national headquarters did an outstanding job of continued training of plant artists by providing tutorials, photo and logo resources and an annual artist conference for training for various professional skills that helped all artists stay on the cutting edge of the industry. Very positive experience. I was encouraged to produce spec art to generate new sales and was paid extra for them, which was a real perk.

Cons

The pay was not outstanding, but the positives allowed for more or less a stress-free work environment for the art department. As the sales team had numbers they were expected to exceed in a slow economy, their jobs were much more high pressure.
