Pros

Good hourly starting out, interesting locations, opportunity to visit locations with discounted admission. I have recommended friends in transition between jobs and that has been nice for them.

Cons

Low to no chance of moving past the level you were hired at. They tend to give small raises if any and the way reviews are set up are not clear.

Interesting venues and work; disappointing bosses

Sales lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The venues are very interesting - museums, aquariums, and zoos (among others). And, there's the ability to transfer locations if moving. Feels unlike working for a corporation and more as a continuation of the venue. Because of the venues, the work is fun. The upper management (as in the CEO, etc) are personable and the store "culture" is fair and balanced. They seem to practice what they preach.

Cons

The lower management (as in Store Directors and their assistants) are unmotivated. They don't practice the "culture" message of EN. HR does not side with the employees - even those who have reliably worked for EN longer than the management.
