Pros

Great benefits. GREAT benefits. As someone who has worked in digital for a long time, I can say my insurance and perks easily trump anything I've had anywhere else. Pay is also competitive, though I hear from others it's not for their roles. Big company with name recognition is always nice and I usually leave on time.

Cons

My business unit is often chaotic. I have no clear growth path. There are some astoundingly bad employees on the payroll that have been tolerated for years despite obvious unsatisfactory performance. I question if senior management of my department has any clue as to how systematic the problems are.

Pros

Having worked for this company for more than 16 years, starting out as a freelance production artist and working my way up to production manager. I have been very proud to be apart of the team, to help grow, train and work on some amazing print campaigns.

Cons

As with any internal graphic design agency, with high job turn around expectations, it can be stressful at times, might be asked to work weekends on occasion and working OT is part of the package. With this in mind - job / life balance is unbalanced.
