Rockwell Group Reviews

Pros

Great connections with Trade Reps

Cons

Long hours at times, but manageable!

Pros

Misery loves company! During your tenure at Rockwell, which is likely to be short based on the turnover rate- both quitting and firing, you are likely to make great friends. These friends will be amazing, talented, and insightful, and you will bond deeply over your mistreatment, terrible bosses/managers, and general day to day miseries. Another major plus is the lunch and learns/breakfasts from sales reps! Despite your low salary, you will be able to have great lunches!

Cons

I was discriminated against on multiple offenses for which I could have employed a workplace attorney, although I ultimately decided it was not worth my time. There is no upward mobility. Any managers or higher up designers came in that level from another firm. If you join junior or intermediate, it will be a waste of time. You will not be given any opportunities and probably will not learn much either.

Pros

I worked with Greg Keffer in Studio G for 4 years and had a truly wonderful experience. I gained indispensable knowledge and expertise through the many colleagues that took much time to mentor me over the years and had the opportunity to work on many incredible projects.

Cons

The only con is that I can only speak on my experience in Studio G. The office is broken up into smaller studios and each studio is run by a different studio leader which results in a slightly different studio dynamic.

Pros

Good Location, Talented Co-Workers, High Profile Projects.

Cons

Poor management, Long Hours, My manager put meetings at 10pm on my calendar. Grueling work, bad coffee. For a company that designs high profile hospitality projects, there's no sense of hospitality within the firm. The space is dingy and there aren't any nice places to eat lunch in the office. When I started as a designer, nobody introduced me to anyone or invited me out to lunch, I was simply handed a CAD manual and told to start working. Primadonna associates who can't or wont use any 3D modeling software and therefore wont do any of the difficult work.

Pros

great working experience with a very bright team

Cons

long working hours during deadlines

Pros

Friendly, creative people; very talented colleagues

Cons

Hours can get long for deadlines; quick turnaround times

Pros

First of all, I have little to no intersection with other studios or corporations at large. So everything I leave here is about the LAB studio. Projects are interesting and high-profile, challenging on the right level. I learned a lot during my tenure. My team is very supportive and friendly. No nonsense like office politics or anything. The leadership is very chill and tries to be flexible on things and very reasonable.

Cons

If I have to come up with anything...work trips are fairly common, it could occupy 1/5 to 1/3 of your total work time depending on your position. And due to the nature of creative projects that involved a lot of technology, on-site dates could change very last minute. so you need to be flexible on your personal schedule. Although the leadership tries their best to take everything into consideration and things are always negotiable.

Pros

very stable, easy work, everyone's friendly. great pay

Cons

can often be redundant and feel burnout depending on the task

Pros

Fair place to work at

Cons

Busy sometimes with big deadlines

Pros
