Pros

The pros include unlimited access to art work and special events.

Cons

The cons? Everything else. An extremely competitive work environment. Strict with dress code. The female employees were constantly reprimanded for their appearance. One manager said that women shouldn't have chipped nail polish. No commission, but they would dangle sales competitions in our faces with the chance for a "bonus" for the winning team. Said "bonus" was then divided amongst the team based on your personal sales, how much you followed the rules, appearance, etc. If you happened to sell a $12,000 Jeff Koons sculpture your reward was a $5 Starbucks gift card. Management was extremely incompetent and selfish. They did not listen to employee concerns. The turn over rate was incredible. If any employee tried to seek out a position in a different department they would receive retaliation. And then they had the nerve to think it was an employee issue and held an internal "how to get along better" workshop. The issue is management.

Pros

made new friends with coworkers, access to exhibits

Cons

no room for growth, management is demeaning, actively made fun of staff with high profile artists who visited, told to not make eye contact with or address owners, management spends time picking over if the clothing you are wearing is black enough instead of unruly guests, more emphasis on aesthetics over employee safety, one break room with 8 chairs and a second break room on the bottom floor of the parking garage for hundreds of employees, must stand entire shift and have verified letter from a doctor for a chair, administration is completely disconnected from staff and attempted to fix this by making a commision comprised only of admin staff, retaliation against employees for requests to improve work environment.

Pros

• Wonderful co-workers • Very chill environment • Great artwork

Cons

• Higher ups do not protect employees from aggressive guests. • Does not pay holiday pay which is strange because most companies do (ex. Thanksgiving, Christmas Day & New Years Day)(Employees have to work New Years Day btw) • Have a lot of anti-capitalist artwork yet don’t treat their employees fairly. •Give certain people extra work that should be made into another department, these employees do not get paid extra for such work which is BS. Word of advice, treat your employees better. Stop being cheap. Pay them their holiday off days cause I know that the higher ups were salary based, I know they’re getting their money’s worth while other people get chump change. Do better.
