Pros

I love working here for many reasons. There is little to no stress — no mandatory late night and weekend work (in 2.5 years, I've had to work late twice). Show up on time, do your work, go home — easy as that. They truly care about us like family. We have summer outings, massage day, weekly group lunches, month end happy hour, and the best employee Christmas Party I have ever been to. I always feel like I can talk to management about anything at any time and if I have an issue, it will be resolved calmly and professionally. At this moment, I love the dynamic of the office. We can work seemlessly together and you don't have to jump through hoops and get something approved by 8 levels of management. Everyone has a positive outlook and is ready to help out with anything. All levels are included in creative sessions and everyone feels welcome and that their opinion is valued. I had very limited experience and they took a chance with me. I have grown by leaps and bounds. I learn something new everyday and am grateful for it all. As I learn new things, my salary has reflected that with an 132% increase in 2 years. If you have the right attitude, work hard, have a sense of humor, and have attention to detail, I’m sure you will be a great fit here.

Cons

I wish we had sick time that wasn't part of PTO. If I have the plague, I don't want to have to choose between getting everyone sick and going on vacation. Because then everyone will be sick!

Thank you so much for your thoughts and being part of the V2 Team. We try very hard to make people here feel valued, just as if they indeed were family. We work just as to make sure we all have fun. As far as the PTO goes, that has been looked as both ways. We have had employees that at the end of the year had unused sick leave. With PTO, that time can now be used as vacation!

Pros

What's not to like as a professional designer when you have a variety of clients and brands to work for on a daily basis? The small agency environment adds to the integral role you play in whatever position you're working in. You won't be a lost cog in a machine here and you'll feel like part of the family so long as you can keep up with the fast pace.

Cons

Maybe you won't like starting work at 7am... Then again, you get off at 4pm. You be the judge.

Pros

V2Works is an awesome place to work, with a positive team oriented environment, where every day is enjoyable. The company offers a fun, fast-paced environment that allows you to work on multiple project types and design styles at any given moment; and the structure allows designers to fully manage their own projects, from concept to completion, executing the design as well as finessing the production until it reaches perfection.

Cons

Until recently, there were a few "bad pennies" who brought the morale of the entire company down. The ex-employees really made the entire staff feel on edge and completely depleted of creativity. Their negativity not only hurt the enthusiasm of the team, but also diminished their own evolution as a designer. While V2Works tried to work with them and give them the benefit of the doubt, there was no turning them around, and in the meantime lost one great employee and almost lost another. Fortunately, since the bad influences have been removed from the company, V2Works has done a complete 180 and is operating on high creative energy with effortless teamwork.
