Pros

Employees and managers were both super friendly and I love the concept of having a store where you can paint ceramics, make candles, and so forth, loved being around kids

Cons

Management took too long to update weekly schedule, fewer hours during non peak times and in between holidays, employees expected to work on major holidays (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas or Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve or New Year's) but were not paid overtime/time and a half.

Pros

No point in mentioning them because the bad outweigh the good. Go work for any other creativity center in the city. It isn't worth it.

Cons

Where do I start.. 1) store management is very unprofessional. They discuss other employee's termination details openly. Also they are always seeking the negative in everyone that works there, and trying to talk to anyone about a situation is like trying to talk to a brick wall. 2) you can't get a straight answer or an honest one from anyone. In my first week alone I got 5 different stories about scheduling/store placement and none of them wanted to take responsibility for misinformation. I ended up having to leave my other job to accommodate their "needs" and ended up not being on the schedule half the week. All in all it would be a better place to work if the long-time employees actually knew how to manage/train/lead without passing the buck, power tripping, and just being overall negative individuals.
