Pros
I couldn't stay away after my long 12 years at C2F. They talked me into coming back two times to do temporary work. I visit from time to time just to see my friends. Most people end up staying there for decades because it's easy to feel comfortable and welcome there, like a little family - and of course it is a family-owned small to medium size business. I'm intimately acquainted with the products and industry, and it's hard not to wonder how they are doing, well I hope. If you are an artist, you will love all the freebies and product testing possibilities! I used to have a huge bin of art supplies! The new facilities are gorgeous, and I truly believe they wish to invest in their employees.
Cons
It can be a difficult and competitive industry, but that's the nature of the art supply business as whole.
