Pros
The people you get to work with are great. There is great exposure to design work and responsibility for those just getting out of school or with little experience. Your hours are flexible and your vacation and personal time is easily used. You can even use your sick days how you please.
Cons
Unfortunately Builders Design is a made-to-fail environment. Project timelines are absurdly short and you are expected to perform miracles with each one. Projects are low budget projects for the most part. There are no yearly raises no matter what they promise you at interview time. When you travel be prepared to share a room with your supervisor or co-worker (disrespectful practice). The hours are absurd (50-60 on a slow week) and no boundaries for your personal life. They will ask you to work a holiday if there is an "emergency" but everything and every project is made to feel like an "emergency". They have false family values and do not care about you; the only employees they truly care about are the golden girls that have been working there forever everyone else is just chicken liver. This company only cares about their bottom line but they're management is so all over the place they are doomed to stay in the same place. On a smaller note: You must perform all of your duties in a very run-down, dirty, smelly, and ugly salmon colored environment.
