Pros

1. Beautiful work environment 2. Easy to hire great people due to the beauty of the space

Cons

1. Everyone is required to speak about the company values on a minute by minute basis yet the values are not lived out by most leaders in the organization 2. Everyone is asked to worship a leader who rarely sets foot in the galleries and is truly a lunatic 3. Time to get rid of the senior leaders especially those that have been around forever, they are stuck in the past and not adding any “new” ideas or value 4. Not enough inspecting what’s expected by regionals and VP’s, lots of assumptions and talking vs. listening 5. The current Gallery Leader plays favorites to a fault, manages from the office, works M-F 8-5 yet requires all other leaders to work 2 late shifts (10-7 and 12-8,) lacks charisma, inclusion and basic sales driving skills which has affected the overall business drastically, treats the housekeepers like second class citizens and turns on people on a dime because she has to have someone else to blame besides herself at all times. 6. No “professional” designer or leader wants their schedule so micromanaged, there is zero autonomy except for the Gallery Leader, it’s very demotivating.

Pros

Trauma bonding with your team.

Cons

Leadership has no pulse on reality. They put business need and dictator-like decision making in front of work/life balance and what’s right. Instead of using the plethora of experience on their teams to help create and execute fair and equitable solutions to grow the culture and business, alike; they force positional changes, demand that serving staff supplement the income of other support positions and refuse to uphold any of the values and foundations the culture is allegedly built around.
