Pros

You learn a lot, you get to work with very high profile clients, amazing designs, fun coworkers

Cons

You're easily replaceable, no matter how long you work there. They claim to have low business but continue to have luxurious retreats and professional photographers at company events, huge Christmas parties but will fire someone because they feel like it. You will work so much overtime and no extra compensation. They hire new fresh college grads who don't have a backbone yet and lovebomb you so you don't quit. You will cry so much from stress. An assistant will be playing the role as project manager without the pay, barely any PTO for your sanity, and they force you to move to the bottom of Naples where you'll be trapped. It's incredibly expensive and there are no other jobs down there. I highly recommend to get a job literally anywhere else. You will get much better pay and benefits from another company. If a job says they are a family, run.

CID Design Group Response

Thank you for providing a review. Though it's certainly tough feedback to hear. Over the years we’ve built a strong talent development program that supports the growth of all team members, especially those that choose to call us home right out of school. We consider ourselves fortunate to be investing in the future leaders in our industry. Our team is tireless in their dedication to our work, vision and clients and we do value the opportunity to gather a couple times a year to connect, reenergize, and have fun as a team. Through our thoughtful and intentional hiring and performance management processes we aim to find team members that are aligned in talent and culture and are interested in being part of the design community here in Naples. Occasionally, we find ourselves in misalignment and must part ways. It is certainly disappointing to see team members go, but we do cherish every person that we’ve had opportunity to learn and grow with. Our finance and HR teams work diligently to review and apply AIA and other industry standards to our pay and benefit offerings, including time-off. We are competitive in the market and review these annually. True time off, adequate pay, and fulfillment outside of work mean our team can invest their creative talent and energy while at work.

Pros

- If you're lucky enough to get on a good team with, it can provide a lot of fun opportunities. - Seem to somewhat care about their employees, though misguided and executed poorly

Cons

- Some people were randomly laid off after working there for years and zero warning that the firm was having financial trouble since they were still holding extravagant parties - Some management is great, some is awful - Try too hard for the "family" culture and expect everyone to work overtime for free - Popularity contest for promotions
