"I love Graphic Design as a whole. There is nothing more satisfying than having a contract come at you with some creative and clever though required to execute. Working closely with clients that like what you do is always a plus, too. Occasionally you get customers who really want something that looks bad or like it was created in MS Word and those can come more often than the creative jobs, but when the creative jobs do come in it is very rewarding! You have to have a passion for design."

Graphic Designer at Dow Jones & Co.
in Hyannis, MA

What do you like about working at Dow Jones & Co.?

"The people are friendly and try to have fun whenever possible."

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

"Do not take the job unless there is a 401k match, or unless you are completely desperate for work. Also make sure they tell you completely about what your schedule will be before you accept the job, because you might end up working nights, weekend nights and holidays."

What don't you like about working at Dow Jones & Co.?

"The location of the office is remote and terrible, in a depressing and boring small town, more than an hour from major cities. The haven't been cost of living raises in years and there's no 401k match. The company needs to figure out how to survive, but the company culture is too resistant to change, although some people are trying to make it happen. Many of the people I work with don't even have smart phones, and this is a media company. Also, many of the shifts have terrible hours, nights, weekends and holidays, and there's no attempt to give extra compensation to those people or to make life tolerable."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Cost of living raises and 401k match, at least. Also, encourage a change in stagnant company culture and lack of experimentation. Either hire more people or reduce the product."
