Pros

-All non-management staff members are wonderful -Customers are usually very kind -Staff at nearby restaurants will occasionally bring free food -Hosting parties can be fun, if you like working with kids.

Cons

-NO training, they will really just throw you and train as you go. That'd be fine except I only worked evenings and weekends, when it was too busy for anyone to teach me anything. -Nitpicky managers. Despite not training us, managers are often condescending when you do something wrong. -Impossible to take time off. Don't get sick because they will absolutely try to guilt you into coming in. -"Working interviews" should be illegal. Its unethical to get labor out of someone you may or may not hire. -We share tips, which is totally fine except that the managers suspiciously never get left tips. I'm not sure if customers just don't like them or what, but it makes working a shift with the managers an extra bummer. -Oh and even with tips, the money sucks.

Pros

It's overall very chill. Really fun to learn about ceramics process and be able to glaze and load pieces. Customers are nice. People just want to come in and paint.

Cons

You will clean and clean and clean and clean and clean some more. Owner loves for everything to be clean. Sometimes loading the kiln is stressful, if you mess up you could ruin several customer pieces. You have to be sure of yourself.
