Pros of working at Blick Art Materials

The benefits are somewhat okay, health insurance is not great though and only management is eligible for that. Quarterly hourly wage increases happen when sales goals are met for enough days in the quarter, otherwise it's just standard hourly pay. So, basically getting upward of $1.50 more per hour on the next check. Ultimately not very great "benefits"

Cons of working at Blick Art Materials

Like I said in the pros, the benefits are not actual benefits that will actually help you at all in life. In fact, having an inconsistent pay is rather frustrating. Because it means I struggle some months and not quite as much when we get the "bonus".

Blick Art Materials benefits

The people I work with. That's all. The CEO is a massive chauvinist, doesn't let my boss, who is a woman, make any decisions without approval from him directly, or other men in corporate. And when other employees on the East coast tried to unionize, that was shut down quickly, and every other location was visited by goons who tried to bully us into retracting our statements we made on our supposedly anonymous survey. Aka union-busting activities.

What do you like best about Blick Art Materials's CEO and the leadership team?

I do not like the CEO at all. The managers are mostly okay and do great jobs.

How would you improve Blick Art Materials's culture?

I don't think there is any way at this point. They demand that you just bow to their will, the CEO has literally SCREAMED at people for questioning his decisions.

How did you prepare for the Blick Art Materials interview?

Like I would for any other job.

How does your compensation at Blick Art Materials compare to the industry average?

Probably standard, doesn't seem like any other art supply store pays more.

What's the diversity at Blick Art Materials like?

The company as a whole portrays itself as being very inclusive, which it can be in certain aspects, but the misogyny is rampant and they refuse to acknowledge it.

What brings you the most joy at Blick Art Materials?

Breaks and when people bring in their dogs. The customers rarely are enjoyable.

Pros of working at Blick Art Materials

We were all a great team! Awesome coworkers and good bonuses depending if you meet sales goals as a store.

Cons of working at Blick Art Materials

Your experience will depend on management -- if you have a great manager, you won't have problems. Customers can be cruel.

Blick Art Materials benefits

If you meet sales goals, extra sales go to a bonus pool. If your store does well, you can end up getting dollars more per hour per period. Employee discount is generous too!
