Owner /Employee

[WB]

just curious as to how many people on here are owners rather then employees of a sign compnay?

To me it sounds like there's alot more owners the employees.

I'm an employee, my parents are the owners, I've been working here for about 3 1/2. Hopefully 1 day I will not be the employee but the employeer.

oh yeah I tried to make a poll but didn't see the option anywhere..

I'm an employee. Mom (Bigdawg Design) is the owner. We're both on here. Isn't it great working for your parents ;-)

 

[firestorm]

I am an employee. I work with my boyfriend (we've known each other for years before we started working together), and we both work for his parents. Makes for some interesting days at work !!

Owner/Partner

I co-own the shop with my boyfriend/partner of 10 years. He's been doing it longer so he's really still the boss!

Owner, operator, CEO, vice president and silent partner.

I'll never be an employee again for the rest of my life.

Let me start off by saying.... I love my boss..... ohhhhh thats me.

 

[Raniece]

owner is my Mom, but she can't make signs, LOL..
Great boss though.

 

[New Sign Guy]

I chose other because the company I work for is not a sign company, it is a hospital that has a sign tech ( me )

 

[Pro Signs & Graphix]

We own but that does not give us anything other than personal satisfaction and the ability to run for a family emergency.

As employees, we could turn the key, go home and relax - not anymore - not for a very long time!

[MAB SIGNS]

I've been an employee too long, I would love having my own shop, rough road and all.

New Sign Guy? That's different that a Hospital has it's own sign tech, very cool.

 

[Baz]

Owner/Operator. I've become an official boss just a few months ago when i just had to hire a part time employee (25hrs). If things keep up he will be full time and then maybee another part timer. And so on .. and so on ...
