"I love creating something from nothing. I love creating what people have in their minds but don't know how to produce it, seeing their face when I have completed their project is delightful. I love the oh wow! factor in creating."

Graphic Designer at North Jersey Media Group
in West Paterson, NJ

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"A reflection of a former employer and seeing where I needed to grow and hone my skills."

What do you like about working at North Jersey Media Group?

"When it was very busy I enjoyed hustling between the sales associates and assisting in getting a design approved and shipped to press in a timely fashion. I enjoyed that trust and teamwork we all shared."

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

"It does offer good thumbnail and thinking exercises every hour with demands from sales and it is invigorating but somewhat frowned upon. Be weary and learn prepress with books and meet other people since they do not offer training. Adequate starting point but not much longer for a year once you are comfortable with your press ready skills to move on."

What don't you like about working at North Jersey Media Group?

"A lack of art direction from the beginning and too much of a burden on the magazine art director to work with weekly sales. Production line format was hard to work around when trying to help sales reach their goals with positive, effective selling advertisements."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Focus less on weak points and more on strengths of each individual and more so the group's strengths. Trust is something that is hard to find in the weekly creative services and exercises in constructive criticism would be appropriate for everyone."
