Do not work in this toxic environment

Business outlook

Pros

The vacation bank is nice

Cons

You are not able to use PTO uniterrupted. Personal time is not respected and there is an expectation that you work most nights and weekends. The Jacksonville office has a very high turn over rate due to work overloads and a toxic work environment. Poor culture and no respect for employees. This environment is allowed to persist, and the toxic/inappropriate work environment is rewarded. Do not work here if you have a family or are not willing to work 50+ every week. No senior designers are in office to mentor younger staff.
