Dickson reviews

Dickson is a company that has been around for over 90 years but has a fun and relaxed startup feel. Management continually invests into it's employees to help them improve including both sales and product training. Management is constantly looking for ways to improve and encourages their employees to voice their opinions/ideas provided to you are suggesting a solution. My experience here has been excellent.

I had a long process of searching for a graphic design internship that I felt would give me the exact experience I was looking for, and the second I interviewed with Dickson I knew I had found the company I wanted to be a part of. The Dickson team made an interview happen very last minute (on my part), which I was extremely grateful for. The marketing team worked around their busy schedules to make an in-person interview happen, which made me feel important as a candidate off the bat. The interviewing process was actually a pleasure to go to. The conversation was extremely welcoming and friendly, and the team made me feel like I was applying for an actual position, not "just" an internship. That leads me to what I think is the most important thing to take away from my review at Dickson: they never, ever once made me feel just like an intern, but as a team member, 100%. During my internship, I was always offered opportunities to learn about every aspect of the company, not only design, and played a part in making decisions that would actually affect the company and its branding/marketing. I learned so much more during the internship than I had anticipated going in, and would recommend to anyone who wants to broaden their horizons in the design world and how it interacts with every other aspect of a working business. I love the engaged and approachable team - everyone always made themselves available to me. Overall: The best intern experience I could have asked for! I'm coming out with some wonderful portfolio pieces and an enhanced knowledge of how working in the design field works. I will miss the wonderful people at Dickson!
