Great environment - Designer Insidesource Employee Review

It may be dependent on which team you're on, but at Insidesource, I was given a clear career ladder with incredibly supportive teammates and coworkers. Being able to work at multiple offices within the Bay Area, I got to visit sites that I never would have with opportunity and flexibility to travel between San Jose, San Carlos, San Francisco, and Concord. Speaking with my manager, my hours were mostly flexible, as long as I got my deliverables done and mostly worked within the core hours. I tended to start early and end early, but always made sure to be available after during the core business hours to answer any quick questions and tie up loose ends for the day. As an Account Coordinator, I was able to make impressions with nearly all aspects of the team and even had a 1:1 interaction with the CEO within my first 2 months.

Maybe it's the nature of the furniture industry, but Account Coordinators are slammed with a never ending cycle of work. There is no down time. The work itself may be easy, but requires insanely good time and task management skills. Some of the team can be demanding and it may be hard to set boundaries, but these things are a must. Talk to your teammates as well and make sure to know which offices they're going to. There have been multiple days where during my required in office days, I didn't interact with any of my team in person. At the end of the day, it can be incredibly rewarding, but it's tough work.

Decent pay, most people on the team were nice, really nice product, flexible work schedule as long as you got your work done and weren't traveling. Big name clients, looks good on a resume.

High work load, like high, slammed all the time. Working late and around the clock was praised. Managers don't have good idea of resource leveling and management. Leadership generally was out of touch. Furniture industry itself was quite unstable. Lots of layoffs and felt unstable like your job could be taken at anytime.
