Pros

Interesting clients, oftentimes with great opportunities to learn things about art from them, beautiful store.

Cons

Hierarchical, passive aggressive management. Never any praise given. The work is boring 99% of the time, staring at a wall for minimum wage but with the pressure of a more senior role. Management has all the top clients leaving the associates to fight over the scraps of a few walk-ins. Open smack-talking of fellow employees, bullying constant firings, very negative environment. Fellow sales associates are the only good people in the company.
