Creative Paradise for Artists - Customer Service Lenz Arts Employee Review

Awesome store, great coworkers, best bosses ever! Fair, honest and supportive to their employees.

None that come to mind. Anyone would be lucky to work for such a wonderful family owned and run business!

The number one perk would b getting to work at the best art store in the Bay Area. Their selection is second to none and the employee discount helped quite a bit. It was a pleasure serving in customer service assisting customers, getting to talk about a subject I am passionate about on a daily basis while deepening my knowledge of materials. In the frame shop I was given the opportunity to learn framing skills which is a priceless education for any artist. The atmosphere at Lenz Arts is generally relaxed and they had a very positive culture of always making the customers happy.

Being a family owned small business I will say there were a few minor quirks working here. They tended to hold onto old stock a little longer than necessary, things on the administrative side were a little bit disorganized/old school (the main office had a mountain of unfiled paperwork and the framing software was literally programmed on Commodore 64 which was kind of cool in its own way). Also, a lot of framing projects were pulled off by the seat of their pants. Being a college town, there was a high turnover rate in all levels of staff. When I left I still had immense respect for Management.
