Business Outlook

Pros

State of the art design work using up to date software revs.

Cons

Not enough designers in group, work is farmed out and we're all working more than one job at any one time in over time mode, as salaried employees. As a Temp, I have no sick time or vacation benefits, or hope that I will have as a Permanent employee. I feel I'm just here to help them fight a few fires and then I'll be dismissed.

Interview and recruiting process takes a long time. I feel they may miss out on good candidates due to the amount of time.
