Graphic Artist at Westinghouse Lighting
in Philadelphia, PA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Westinghouse Lighting: Trial by Fire"

What do you like about working at Westinghouse Lighting?

"It was good preparation for working in a fast-paced, corporate environment."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be prepared to work with a lot of chatty women and people from the old school. This is essentially Angelo Bros. Lighting in a Westinghouse Lighting costume."

What don't you like about working at Westinghouse Lighting?

"They were very disorganized in their approach to handling workflow. Jobs were often left on people's desks without an explanation and when people had questions, managers were rarely available due to excessive meetings. The work environment was full of gossip, such that every small mistake was over-inflated until the whole department had a negative and inaccurate opinion of your performance."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Create more procedures and stick with them. Put together a well-written branding guide to increase consistency and save time on projects. Create a company handbook to ensure ethical business practices. Discourage negative whistle blowing and increase the level of professionalism in each department."

"Recessions and busted partnerships hurt business"

What do you like about working at Bruwiler Precise Sales?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Make sure you spell Lisa and Mike's Swiss-American family last name right: BRUHWILER. And it's pronounced Broo-Wy-Ler. (They're siblings.) Think really frugal, because the economy has seriously stung their business."

What don't you like about working at Bruwiler Precise Sales?

"No real chance for advancement; they were forced to relocate from Hollywood to Van Nays, which meant a horrendous commute from Whittier and no real personal life."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Mostly, they've got to get back to decent business first before I could really criticize them for not offering any decent opportunities for employee growth. Failing that, it'd be a moot point."

What do you like about working at Homes & Land?

"creating ads, working with customers"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"ask how many other artists have worked at that position in the past 2 years... if they are honest with you, you will probably keep moving on in your list of interviews. you will start out at $31.5K and get a regular 3% raise every year. I have no clue where they get off saying $68K is average, that is not true."

What don't you like about working at Homes & Land?

"stress from above when really, none of that was needed. backstabbing personalities in the drivers seat never tell you that the car you are in is headed for a wall, you had better have your seat belt on."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"be up front, honest, and friendly to your graphic artist. don't play games and run around the subject. The ownership had better get its act together soon, as well... yes, customers are what grows a business, but one like this is supported by the artist, and that is more than 70% of the deal"
