For this weeks blog post I had to research the pros and cons of working for a graphic design agency. There are many pros of working for an agency. One of the benefits is if you work at an agency you will be working with other designers. This will mean the expectations will be high and you will be forced to produce the best work you can in order to keep up. Another pro is you can focus all your attention on the design work instead of managing client relations and the money aspect as most freelances will have to do. However there are also some negative aspects of working for an agency. One of those negative aspects is the rigorous work hours. At an agency you have strict deadlines that you are expected to meet, this could mean working late and at times you didn’t account for at first. Another con is there is a risk of job security. If an agency feels it has to many people at any given time for the project they are working on they could put you one temporary leave or even lay you off entirely. Below are 3 listings to agency work I found on the internet.
