"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."

The wrong behaviors are rewarded, such as not disagreeing, not voicing opposing viewpoints, not confronting issues, etc."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Fire the CEO and a few other senior leaders, and then hire people who understand and possess great leadership skills, care about and listen to their employees, and know how to create and support a positive culture and how to inspire and motivate employees."
