Pros

The people are exceptional at Scholastic Canada, so friendly and willing to help. As a graphic designer you get to work on a variety of projects for both print and web, which keeps days fast-paced and interesting.

Cons

After several years as a designer here the work can get repetitive, and there isn't much room for advancement in the design department. Management seems to be a bit cheap, and cuts cost where they shouldn't (staffing). There are some people in charge who do not seem sufficiently qualified, they've just been around long enough to be promoted. Sometimes they make really frustrating decisions.
