• Some teams are better than others. Mine was a fantastic team until we got a new lead.
• Leadership tends to bully one person on the team in order to have documented coaching. There’s always one - pray it’s not you.
• It is a revolving door for designers, and you will have the light in your soul sucked out if you work too hard. Don’t work hard enough? Documented coaching.
• They only tend to hire brand new, fresh out of college designers, since they’re the ones who don’t know better. They spend a LOT of time and money going to colleges to recruit.
• You are just a number to them, and they will not care if you’re unhappy. Prepare to feel very micromanaged on everything you do.
• You will not have as much creative freedom as they let on in the beginning. Buyers/clients already know what they want, and you need to do exactly that. Creative people/those who love to illustrate will NOT succeed here.
