Pros

The co workers are amazing, everyone treats you well. It's fun to work in the museum. You get to see some pretty cool stuff and meet nice people.

Cons

Management is horrible. They lack organization skills. The pay is way too low for the work, and while they say they'll give you hours, don't believe them. They don't train very well, just throw you into the work.

Pros

originally started as entrepreneurial company with a small feel that valued employees; local staff/environment generally psotive

Cons

company preaches open-door/entrepreneurial culture then reprimands staff for following the culture; management dictates from a distance instead of leading; CEO is so far removed from company operations and reality that it has become an ongoing joke among staff; absolutely no room for growth; disrespect and harassment run rampant throughout company; entrepreneurial spirit is crushed by severe micromanagement at all levels. Pres/CEO preaches importance of work/life balance then expects salaried staff to work 12 hour days, 7 days a week and to cancel vacations for last-minute "visits", etc. HR Team is now called "talent development" yet there is no visible plan to teach/guide/mentor/develop staff company-wide. Company has strayed from its mission and is now focused on cheaper product, less man-hours, shrinking budgets and expecting more with much less in order to finance president's/company's "compound" in Utah. Dozens of valuable people have left in the last three years, which should be sending a message but nobody is listening. Joint owners of the company don't even get along or agree anymore--what does that tell you?

Pros

Pros???? Aren't any

Cons

Director always on conference calls which leads to no leadership/direction on floor, promotes unqualified people to lead cashiers and sales leads, favoritism, under new management and beginning to look like cheap souvenir shop, too much back biting amongst supervisors and no loyalty to associates that work the hardest.
