Pros

As a longtime employee and constant cheerleader, I'm proud of my career with EN. The teams I work directly with are full of some of the most talented and passionate people I know.

Cons

Leadership stresses their desire to promote from the bench but destroys paths that would allow employees to do so. Constant restructuring is exhausting and it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep faith in our future. In recent years we've begun acquiring for-profit partnerships that stand in direct opposition to the missions of our existing partners (zoos, aquariums, science centers, historic locations etc.)

Pros

E|N has amazing venues to work in. Usually get free admission or discounted tickets to other venues with e|n stores. Great communication with the purchasing team, buyers actually respect your opinion. Team members are great to work with. PTO accumulates at a good rate for FT employees.

Cons

The company pushes a GUSTO environment but doesn't act on it. They want us to reward staff but don't give us enough money to do it, paid a lot of pocket. My VP was cold and unfriendly to most if they stood up against her. Cares VERY LITTLE about the state of the employees (mentally). ABSOLUTELY NO GROWTH OPPORTUNITY UNLESS YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE. The company wastes money on drug tests the venue doesn't require. They pay for directors to relocate and spend thousands while ignoring the bench strength of employees in that region . They ask us to train new employees but don't offer them FT status because they are too cheap to actually offer health care and benefits to them. Lots of hours cut due to the 28 hour rule for PT. EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA AND SOLD AT A RIDICULOUS INCREASE. HR DEPARTMENT WILL TALK BEHIND YOUR BACK ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS WITHOUT ACTUALLY HELPING YOU.
