Good training ground for new designersThe good thingsThey gave me a chance to start my career in design, as I was fresh out of design school. I had the best, kindest and most helpful co-workers. I was well guided by my manager--from keeping records to dealing with suppliers. We had a happy working environment.
The challengesThere was not much room for career growth. Even if I was doing well, there was nowhere to branch out to. Also, my salary wasn't much to be satisfied about. Worse, annual salary increases range from 500-1000 pesos only. It wasn't very motivating. It was also a challenge to commute to and from the office since I am from the south.
