headwinds = no pay increase

Color sponsor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work on National magazines and some of the best photography for images. You can build an impressive portfolio.

Cons

The term "head winds" in any company memo = no pay increase. Management also will remind you that they can and will change your shift schedule without notice and without your input. Management also reminds you they can and will terminate staff without cause, concern, or profesional manners. Regardless of years worked, you will get thrown under the "Quad bus."

Great managers and vacation, but poor severance and health costs

Account support executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Paid weekly and you get 3 weeks vacation in your 2nd year. I had 3 fantastic managers who made the experience a win for me.

Cons

Their severance policy is the worst. After 12 years, I was given 1 week per year, okay. However, they pay it to you weekly, and they only pay the difference btw your previous salary and what you receive from Unemployment Insurance. Also, The WEEKLY contributions for health insurance are exorbitant (with the contribution amount being based on Biometrics, so don’t be fat or have high blood sugar or cholesterol, and definitely NO NICOTINE of any kind, or u automatically pay the Highest amount) and you still pay huge co-pays and deductibles on everything.
