Pros

Very fast turn around, mostly one-off/unique designs, local projects that are high profile. Fun projects. Each day is different and you can learn a lot of different production methods and how to utilize a lot of different materials & finishes.

Cons

Limited to no chance for promotion/advancement. Poor employee management. Everyone works unpaid overtime; do not expect to work a 5-day a week, 8 hour day. The promise it to "make it up" when the project ends; but there is always another project behind. If you use vacation or earned time off they make you feel guilty for leaving them shorthanded. Now they have begun using out-of-country detailers, so the quality of the shop drawings has dropped and the shop labor is expected to make it work anyway.

Pros

D&P is a big player in a niche field. The company builds complex projects for high profile clients. It has full in-house capabilities. While working there, I have learned the full cycle of project development, management, and fabrication/installation. In my experience, initiative and willingness to learn have been rewarded.

Cons

Fabricating and installing museum exhibits is a separate discipline from designing them. People who are interested in the conceptual side won't be satisfied working for a fabricator. Every project is different. They are all on tight, client-driven deadlines. If you are looking for a routine, predictable job, this isn't it.
