What kk said. Make sure you fully understand what the guy/gal brings to the table. Concepts don't need to be full photoshop productions.
As always, the value for the bigger idea rarely needs to have the refinement of the production pieces. I stopped using much of the software a decade ago and only know enough about the changes to tell others how to improve, notice what's wrong, etc. Just not worth my time, that's what I expect younger, production designers to be fluent in.
His credentials might be bringing in bigger money as kk notes, too. Saying 'our new guy comes directly from blah blah blah" might carry weight in some circles (I don't know).
Ultimately, if you ain't happy, you gotta figure out how to either find new opportunities (new job, freelance, etc.) or become satisfied with where you are. I'd get prepared to move on and start looking, talk to your CD, surely they know how you are feeling just by your last convo.
