Pros

What's not fun about working with people who love art as much as you do and getting to educate people on those subjects.

Cons

I constantly have issues with bully managers, feeling under payed and over worked, absurd rules and regulations that prevent us from doing our job easily.

Pros

Casual day-to-day atmosphere, assistant-level work not demanding work on a physical or mental level. Good place to work for those interested in the arts & crafts, provides exposure to quality of material and diversity of brand.

Cons

Instituted uniforms, low pay, very unpredictable and limited hours depending on store volume, overbearing and untrusting management from the district level, the general feeling of lost identity and ease of termination/replacement.

Pros

Flexible hours, great for high school or college students working around a school schedule. Not much else good to say, this place fills me with rage.

Cons

Usually only four people (manager, cashier, sales associate, framer) staffed in a huge, high traffic store. Unable to keep up with store maintenance. Can be very stressful trying to complete all tasks, so most people are always in a bad mood. Everyone else doesn't care about their jobs. In a management position, I only make $0.60 more than the minimum wage in my state. District managers very demanding and have no idea how busy our store gets! Email qutoas given by upper management are impossible to meet. Customers in my area have a sense of entitlement and are very demanding.
