Who else here works INhouse, and if you mind me asking, what industry?
Do you enjoy it? or not? and why?

Did do for a fashion brand but I have 2 weeks left until i leave to join an agency. Its been great for me to get some work out as I am in charge and ive been allowed a massive free reign but I can imagine in the wrong sector it could kill you.

I kind of work in house, but it's pretty interesting stuff. I work for a big old PR company in Soho Square and I work on new business pitches as well as plenty of clientwork in many different sectors. Thinking about moving on though because I don't get paid what I'm worth really - I've got about 3 years behind me now (2 for this company) and getting decent money is like getting blood from a stone. I'm stuck on £21k. >:(

I work inhouse for a large law firm.
It is good job but can get a little too comfortable at times.

i work in-house for fashion beauty company. it's pretty cool if the company is organized and managed well, otherwise it could be a nightmare.
it's a very different environment from working at an agency. if you are with a good brand, it's great, but if a company isn't commited into design and branding, then it will be better off being at an agency.

I work at an agency but it's more like being in-house because everything is done for two clients. i've been here 3.5 months. i hate it. it thought it would be more agency like. they lied to me! i'm making great money, but it's a complete bore. plus, this is the first time i've ever had a creative director as a boss and he sucks. Before this i was in-house packaging/product designer at peavey electronics. i loved the job but hated the location - mississippi. bluck. i stuck it out almost two years.
i gotta find something else soon before i go NUTS!
anyways, i figure in-house is not that bad if the work is cool and the company has it's shit together.

That's the best thing about working in-house, security. there are people at this company that have been here for 30 years.

I work in-house for a record company. It's pretty cool and the job is reasonably secure. I get to do pretty much what I like, but there's no experienced creative director I can learn from. I work with some pretty cool brands, but the budgets can be quite low. Also the job prospects are only ever going to go so far - eventually it will be time to move back into agencyland I reckon. Working in-house is definitely good if you fancy a break from shaky businesses in the real world, and you can build some solid porfolio if you work in the right kind of company.

I'm in-house for a graphics/video heavy large church. It has its moments... but i'm growing restless and doing more freelance these days.

i'm in-house for a public broadcaster. it's the best job i've ever had, i get to learn loads, every project is different from the last, nice people etc. sometimes the hours suck but that's just creative jobs generally.
i've also worked in-house before this and it was shit. and i've freelanced and worked for agencies etc - basically whether it's inhouse or not doesn't matter, it's the type of work and the people around you that make a job, imo.
