I have never tried inhouse graphics artists, even though my partner and I have enough sites between us to warrant it.
I prefer to use US based outsourced workers while my partner usually goes with out of country workers, his efficiency is honestly higher than mine, with his work being done as he asks, for cheaper and faster. I actually had some work done for me by one of his outsourced companies just to try it and honestly they nailed the work. BUT Nick Pappageorgio was just as fast, good and well prices if not better than some of the work he is getting cranked out from india (i will rep him without hesistation for the work he did for me)
But for the most part outsourced workers from what i have shown tend to hustle for your money much harder than your average free lance designer/programmer and their culture is barter/trade based so they negotiate on every price just to get the work in. Most graphics people I have dealt with either want to tell you what and what you are not going to get in the job you ask for because they know best as an artist while you are just a businessman OR in the case of programmers they do half the work and quit or they delay and delay till you just drop them, the way to get them to do it is to pay way higher than the bid or to contract them and pay them salary.
I had a problem with it all untill i learned about macro economics and outsource/insource but i still look for local and american workers and probably always will. the good ones are good and i hold on to them when i find them.
Outsource is easier and can be much cheaper in the long run, but you risk the chance of burning through a lot of people to get what you want or getting scammed if it is out of country. Inhouse you have the power to control them through threatening to fire them and you can breath down their neck to keep them on task. Anywone else wanna chime in?
