Tons of Great Exposure - Designer bei Spectrum Interior Design: Mitarbeiterbewertung

I started with a design degree but not a lot of background, and was trained and promoted 3 times over 7 years. I loved working with the team who always helped each other. The projects are fun, the clients are really nice and the designs are really creative. There is a lot of variety to the styles of projects.

The clients expect a lot, and the pace is fast. You need to know how to stay organized and be able to work on multiple projects. Everything requires high attention to detail and cross checking your own work.

The projects themselves are high-end and interesting. If you’re looking for exposure to luxury residential design, that part is real.

The work environment is deeply toxic and entirely top-down. Input from staff is generally not welcomed; decisions come from ownership and you are expected to execute without question. The role was not what was represented during hiring, with responsibilities constantly shifting based on whatever ownership needed in the moment. Boundaries around time and communication are not respected, so expect last-minute requests at all hours and unclear expectations. There is no mentorship, no structure, and little to no professional respect for employees. Turnover is high and for good reason, coworkers are consistently unhappy and it shows. The off-boarding process was handled without basic professionalism or dignity.
