Pros
The job is fun and you get to learn a lot about ceramics. Most of my co-workers are enjoyable to work with and I enjoy working with them and the volunteers. My hours are pretty flexible too.
Cons
It's impossible to grow or be promoted unless you suck up to management and HR. Unfortunately they lead you in with their message of kindness, but it's very clique-oriented and they tend to bully individuals. HR is one person and is incredibly passive aggressive and so it is not like you feel comfortable or able to make a complaint without being scared of retaliation. Management doesn't seem to understand that a studio assistant has to perform like 5 different jobs in one roll for very little pay. I love my job and the mission, but it doesn't feel like the ones in charge really practice what they preach.
