Pros

As all reviews have stated the stores have great products and wonderful co-workers ....

Cons

Where to begin? Once upon a time this was a great place to work ... Not anymore! As much as they tell you they care about you, you are all family - they will stab you in the back as soon as you turn around. Managers now being hired are young and inexperienced! If you aren't one of the manager's favorites, your hours are cut. Raises are impossible to get. If your manager is having a bad day, you will be singled out and a "disciplinary report" will be written up on you, and if she doesn't like you, you'll be replaced by one of her "friends". Goals are expected to be made every day regardless if you have customers or not! You are given 15 minutes to close down the store (count registers, do paperwork, put product away, do bank deposit, clean store) and if it takes you 16 minutes, you'll hear about it in the morning! All positive reviews on here are written by someone in upper management to make the company look good ...

Artsy Abode Response

Very sorry to hear about your experience - we have a diverse group of managers of all age groups and provide anonymous means for employees to voice concerns as well as an experienced Human Resources manager available for everyone to discuss issues and this was available to you and would have been a very constructive way to help your situation. We appreciate the reviews that our employees have posted on what is good about our culture and company - we do our best to make this company great with pay, benefits, incentives and discounts.

Pros

I actually loved working at Artsy when I first started. The store manager and several of my coworkers became some of my best friends. We had a great time at work, and we did an excellent job soaring past our goals. We received discounts on products, and occasionally incentives on certain items. At one point, we got commission on some products which was awesome. That did not last long at all.

Cons

I worked there for 3 years and never once met the owners because they rarely came to our store (and I guess because I worked part time). When they did come on a rare occasion, all they did was make a mess and take a lot of our product to the Jacksonville store. How are we supposed to make our goals when you take our popular products???? I did not have the opportunity to go to the new hire training because I started before they were "required"...which, looking back, I wouldn't have gone anyway...I'm not driving 2 hours away for a training for a part time job. Upper management is full of catty women with nasty attitudes. Managers are forced to work well over 40 hours a week, but are only compensated for 40.
