Pros

- Good people - Interesting, challenging projects - West Loop location

Cons

- High turnover (35% this year) - Interdepartmental politics - Leadership vacuum - Sub par benefits Turnover was always a major problem for Epstein but it got progressively worse in recent years. There are a lot of factors but the bottom line is that the company will continue to die off slowly until there is a major change in leadership. The way the company operates is dysfunctional and unsustainable. Talented, passionate people get squeezed out like a sponge. Most projects end with client and/or contractor conflict, including lawsuits.

As a company approaching our 100th anniversary, we've definitely had our ups and downs. We look forward to making significant improvements that ensure the health and prosperity of our firm in the years to come.

You are right, our year-round 1/2 day Fridays are our most beloved benefit. Our total benefits package is more comprehensive than many of our competitors. We continue to monitor our place in the industry with regards to compensation and benefits and make appropriate adjustments. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please pass along to management.

Thank you for the feedback. Over the past year, Epstein has hired a new design lead for the studio and invested in technological resources and staffing to re-energize our focus on design. During this time period, we have competed in several design competitions as well as been commissioned to design new mixed-use developments, high-rise office buildings and a high-end distillery/event space. We're excited about the future of our design group & your contributions to this important endeavor.
