Instead, inform the marketing department about the printing process and how to choose a designer. Then hire the professional designer that suits your marketing department. The company will save time, the marketing department will do what they are best at and so will you, and the designer will be accountable for the finished product. Why waste the company's time training folks to use software and to perform graphic design when the process can be managed more effeciently by using a projessional who has ties to print houses and knows what is happening?
See if you can go to work for a company that has an ISO certification. They may have the processes in place that will keep that kind of last minute hero crap from killing everyone. I am a software quality assurance "engineer" at a small company. After taking my first quality assurance class I realized how screwy the company actually is. I think you would be much happier in a company with a strong quality policy that goes completely through the whole company, from top to bottom. Do some reading on software quality assurance, you'll see what I mean.
