TURNER STUDIO

Pros: The team here is super collaborative. I learned a ton as a Junior Graphic Designer, working on some really cool projects in the graphic design industry. The hybrid work model is also a big plus for flexibility.
Cons: Job security feels pretty low, especially for project-based roles. Contracts can end suddenly, which makes long-term planning tough. There's not always a clear path to full-time conversion after a project wraps.
Advice to Management: Try to offer more clarity on future opportunities for project-based staff. It would help retain talent if there was a clearer path to full-time roles or at least more notice.

Pros: As a Junior Architect, I've worked on some genuinely cool architectural design projects. The immediate team is super supportive, which helps a lot. Plus, the hybrid work model is a solid perk.
Cons: Leadership can feel really disconnected from daily operations. It's tough to get clear direction, especially for us entry-level designers. Senior architects seem overloaded, so mentorship isn't really happening.
Advice to Management: Upper management needs to spend more time understanding what's happening on the ground. Provide better mentorship programs for junior staff and support for senior project leads. Clearer communication on project goals would also make a huge difference.

Pros: Work flexibility here is okay, especially for those in the Atlanta office who can easily pop in. We do have a hybrid model now for our design projects, which is a step up from being fully onsite. It's nice to have a couple WFH days.
Cons: The 'flexible' part of the hybrid model sometimes feels rigid; you still need to be in for key meetings or certain CAD work. As a Junior Architect, it's tough to get real flexibility if a project demands long hours, even when remote. It's not a truly remote-first setup.
Advice to Management: Give more autonomy regarding WFH days, especially for individual contributor design roles. Trust your employees more with how they manage their time.
