Great Place to Grow. - Architectural Intern/Designer bei Batson Associates: Mitarbeiterbewertung

In working at Batson Associates for the past 30 years we provide each person the ability to work on a project from initial concept through final close-out of construction. From the beginning of the project each member is exposed to all aspects of the project.

Over 30 years we have had ups and downs, but we have all pulled together as a family to work through the tough times.

Gained experience due to a "sink or swim mentality". Pretty easy to coast in this position.

Often when asked about this experience, i tell people that I never truly undersood what depression felt like until working here I was underpaid significantly, based on the amount of work I completed. I was also often told during performance reviews that my work was excellent, I had great skill and determination, but was then given a "meets expectations". I was also rarely given time to complete work (I was typically meeting with clients and beginning my work the week projects were due). It's very clear from my time here that interiors was not a priority and the goal was to give me more architectural duties without the added pay. When I finally gave notice, the owners did not speak to me for the remainder of my week, and even on my last day going so far as to actively avoid me as I said goodbye.
