Pros

You can wear whatever you want to work. Nice building, nice view.

Cons

No privacy, open loft, everyone can see and hear everything. Office is always dark. Owner is a mean hothead. He will yell and degrade certain employees and think nothing of it for minor issues. They make employees clock in and out even though everyone is on salary. A lot of micro-managing. I only saw 1 or 2 people with bad work ethics. Almost everyone tried to and did their best. Some people are pushed to the brink regularly while some people were favored. I saw many tears flow because of hostile preventable situations and extreme stress. Bad energy for the most part. There were a few other honest, detailed reviews on here that have disappeared only to be replaced by that one exaggerated glowing review. Seems kind of fishy because I honestly never heard one person say they were actually happy working there. In fact, out of 25+ people at the time, only 2 never complained about the bad, which there was a lot of.

Pros

Good salary and benefits, especially given the industry. Good exposure to artists and learning about work.

Cons

Little to no training, distrust between employees, disorganized. I was salaried but there was an expectation I would work over 8 hours when museum was open. It was hard problem solve or ask questions without being met with outright aggression. This instilled fear in team and morale was on the ground. Historically high turnover rate. It feels like the founder almost wants you to be a mind-reader.
