Q&A With Wilco Employees

Wilco is generous with monthly "Recognition and Reward" budgets to say "thanks" to employees that step up their game in noticeable ways throughout any month. Wilco also offers profit sharing, and twice a year bonuses ($100) for spending in the farm stores stacking on top of a generous employee discount.

Contractors are $28 to $33 per hour. Salaried senior designer is currently at $59,000.

The vibe is comfortable and interactive with many parts joining in the discussion on any one piece; whether swag for an event, production print flyer, website touts, social media campaign or interior design, marketing specialists to marketing director all are accepted voices in getting to the best result. Typical work week is 50 hours.

The Wilco Design Team consists of one full time graphic designer, one social media specialist, one online catalog specialist and three contract designers.

Wilco's design team is generally self-led. There is no creative culture or formulated processes for developing creative campaigns. The design process flows from basic messaging and demand assets to be included and the designer then comes up with the initial concepts for feedback and redesign.
