  9. Employees Are The Worst

    Now I see why so many sign shops stay small and have little to no employees. I've had the worst luck of employees. I've had 12 - 14 employees totally, currently have 4 not including myself. They screw up nearly every job, they aren't friendly, they don't care about their work, they have no...
