Good starting out position as a designer
Pros
I was able to solidify a lot of the skills I had learned since coming right out of college. Everyone I worked with on the packaging design team was knowledgeable and wonderful people to work with. Someone was always there to help guide me if I ever had a question. Getting paid every week was also very nice.
Cons
I did not like having to clock in and out anytime I left my desk. I felt very controlled as not only an employee but also as an adult. I would have to clock out if I even went to get a quick snack. This did not make me feel like a trusted employee and professional. I was also told that I was going to get a higher paid salary but when I started, I was actually getting paid two to three dollars less than what I was told. This made me see that if I were to ever move up, I would probably be still getting paid less than what I should have been by industry standards.
