Pros

Located in a great city. Employees have a good family bond

Cons

NO room for advancement, work PMs too hard with unrealistic expectations and no benefit to stick around. Constantly changing process, management will not listen to seasoned PMs advice.

Pros

I've spent two decades in the sign industry, and I can say from experience that AGI is a company that gets it right. Management is well organized and professional, which is rare in the sign industry. They uphold honorable principles, and put people first. What they do makes sense. I've seen them be very patient with difficult employees (including me at times), and they always give graciously when there is a need. The CEO and most company executives keep financial and business practices visible and above-board. You feel like you are part of the team, and no one is hiding anything. Every company says they are a "family" but at AGI, it really is in deed, not just in words. When they see promise, good attitude, and aptitude in a person, they will work to ensure they are developed and promoted. I was fairly high up in this company, and was involved in many meetings and conversations the average employee is not privy to, and I can say that I never heard or saw anything that gave me concern or caused me to lose respect for AGI. Looking back, I can say working for AGI was a great education and experience.

Cons

AGI asks a lot from their employees, and I personally had a bad work/life balance due to too much work and travel. As with most sign companies, there is cross-departmental blaming and banter. Due to such strong employer loyalty, some long-time employees have stopped being teachable, and can be drag on the team.

Out of Date company - no training - no communication

Pros

good benefits and location.

Cons

All in all this company has no idea how to run it's business. They ignore key aspects of the industry such as technology and training. Managers don't know how to train or speak to co-workers. Company wastes money on outsource with low or no qualifications or training. Contractors don't get paid which ends up causing more issues with not having proper people trained when they quit. Programs are pushed out by sales people who have no idea what the job takes. Certain areas of the company are ignored, and those with experience are pushed to the side because management doesn't want to deal with change. Backwards mentality.

AGI is headed in the right direction as it relates to training. AGI University was kicked off in 2016. The company is listening to the needs of the employees and working to provide necessary training.
