Pros

The pros are only red herrings.

Cons

So many employees there have a problem with how they are treated but are scared to speak up because they think they will lose their jobs. And they are right! Although the employees will bend over backwards to succeed, they are still belittled by management. They will work overtime in stressful conditions without complaint, but when they aren't sitting at their desks in front of their computer at the exact moment the work day starts because they are still making coffee they are berated and scolded like children! I've never seen anything like it! Jesse Kalisher knows that there are very few opportunities to work in an environment that allows people to be immersed in art all day. He therefore takes complete advantage of his employees because he knows they'll either 1. Stay because they love art so much that they are willing to endure the toxic work environment or 2. Leave -- which he doesn't care if they do cause he can easily lure replacements in because the job seems so "sexy". I would give this place zero stars if it were an option.
