Terrible Environment

Pros

nice workplace environment. Casual environment. friendly co-workers. Not much else nice to say about this place. Wish there was more to say but this review requires that I write 20 words

Cons

When covid hit, this place dumped their employees like a ton of bricks. These were hard working people and instead of reducing hours or salaries, they fired the entire staff, only keeping senior management. Senior management is nothing but a bunch of back stabbing goons with no concept of how to lead a team. Morale was low before the pandemic, so they did everyone a favor by forcing them to search for work with a real company. Don't believe the "good reviews" , these are written by the HR team (yes, they told me). No upward growth. Upper manageent gossips like school girls. For a company catering to cultural attractions, you'd think they had some culture. Systems are painful to work with. Vendors are never paid on time. The list goes on.

Thank you for your feedback. We take your comments to heart. We are disappointed to hear that your experience does not align with the majority of positive experiences at EN, but we wanted to address some important points. Please be assured that the reviews – of all kids – are legitimate, authenticated by the platform and are not scripted by HR. As Covid impacted our industry and the world, reduction in workforce, furloughs and temporary salary reductions were inevitable and a heart-wrenching reality. However, as we reopened our locations we were excited to bring back many of our team members across the organization. We understand transitions can be difficult and we are listening.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re happy to see that you feel positively about the salary and autonomy! We know that you put in great work and good energy for your team and guests in DC, and we appreciate all that you gave as Store Director during your time with us! We provide training toward personal and career growth because we strive to advance careers whenever possible. However, since we operate stores across the nation opportunities pop up at different locations. We fill positions as they arise, where they are located.
