      Worth it short term

      Pros

      Other employees (at both locations I worked at), including management, were friendly and fun to work with. Management was generally receptive to new ideas and questions. The company definitely cares about its employees more than other places I've worked

      Cons

      It's always a tiring day and didn't have as much flexibility with hours as I would have liked. There were disparities in the competency and leadership ability of different managers. The number of managers sometimes made it feel like there were too many cooks in the kitchen.

      Probably Depends on Which Location

      P/t crew member/sign artist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are great - health insurance for 20 hrs. and up, retirement plan paid completely by company and you get it if you stick around a few years. The crew is chosen in part for personality and are generally a great group to work with.

      Cons

      I understand the experience can vary greatly from one area to another. I'm on the East coast and they just don't seem to get the 'laid back' CA attitude or the fun environment that's supposed to be a part of the job. Also, the workspaces, materials for artists, freedom to be creative are different depending on the value the individual store managers place on their store's signage.
