Pros
WD Partners is an all-inclusive retail design firm that provides creative services in: marketing/insights, interior environments, architecture, engineering, operations, digital/3D, and implementation. Given the diversity of services, employees have access to tapping into these specialties/ resources internally. WD offers its employees multiple avenues & opportunities to take on more projects if desired. The team structure is designed to build each designers' creative skills while maintaining the core brand identity.
Cons
If brought on to WD under a 90 day contract position, the contract usually extends out to a year rather than 3 months. Given the nature of the design industry as a whole, business tends to fluxuate quite often. Meaning job security is not promised if there are no projects/ new business developing. Look at yr. 2009 for example. However WD was one of the only design firms in the region to stay afloat during this economic downturn because of a few revolving big box/cpg store accounts.
