Pros

Co-workers were great while I was there. Management was very understanding during a personal, family crisis. Occasional team lunches were somewhat helpful to morale. The day-to-day work, excluding anything regarding the owners, can be interesting and is very fast-paced.

Cons

Management is the major negative at PaperCraft. If you work there, get everything in writing, the owners have a tendency to "forget" agreements or discussions. Dishonesty is rampant at this company, including requests by the owners to do things that could result in legal issues and I am not surprised at the blatant lie in the company response to an earlier posting stating that "good" medical and dental benefits are offered. Also, holiday bonuses are not a given, even after a year of good service to the company. Unpaid overtime is not only encouraged but expected regularly for hourly workers. I personaly observed (but was not the receiver of) unacceptable harrassment both towards women and individuals from other countries. No female working for the owners was comfortable being alone with the maile owner during the time I worked there. The owners forbade recycling but claim to be a "green" company. The owners exemplified most of the negative potential aspects of working in a small company.

While we cannot be sure of the identity of the individual who created this post, we can say for certain that PaperCraft has never had an employment claim of any type in its 22 year history. If this individual did indeed work at PaperCraft, they did not think it significant enough to bring any of these issues to our attention." Lang Gibson

Entrepreneurial environment. Work hard, get rewarded. Fun people who take their job seriously but not themselves.

Pros

You gain a lot of customer service experience and learn how to work with all types of people; working with the clients is great; you stay extremely busy all day long; good office location in the City of Fairfax; free parking.

Cons

Negative work environment (to include yelling, insults, beratement from one of the owners in particular, intrusive questioning about personal life, constant scrutiny of work and virtually no positive reinforcement for a job well done); no privacy; extremely high rate of turnover (only one current employee with the exception the two owners has been there for more than one year) ; not much of a work-life balance offered (extremely difficult to take time off. Sick days or family emergencies result in more negative treatment following the absence).
