5 years with EN!

Pros

EN is definitely a great, fun place to work. I worked in several locations through the course of 5 years. I had the opportunity to interact with great people.

Cons

Low pay and the hours aren't steady. If you're in college or have a second job, this is likely for you. It can take a while to get promoted at every level (cashier to lead, lead to ad, ad to director, etc.) Most people don't want to work at the same level for several years.

Pros

It's a job and that's about it

Cons

Long hours expected of salaried people - 60 hours for the price of 35. Lack of support from upper management. Sales miracles expected in low-volume locations. Product lines are constantly being dumbed down.

Pros

Not much to comment on. For an 8 hour shift you sometimes get 2 paid 15 min breaks and a nonpaid 30 min lunch. Which is nice but also usually required by law so...

Cons

horrible upper and lower management, demeaning, condescending, no room for growth or promoting in company, you're simply disposable to them. Product is crap and cheap, yet they sell it for 200% cost value. Favoritism is at its highest here. Claim that "guest service" and "museum message" is the most important, don't be fooled, money is the most important. I had worked at this Museum store for 3+ years before Event Network came in and took over. I wasn't treated like an employee that knew the store or the museum, I was treated like a 15 year old at their first job ever. They want employees to treat this like a department store instead of what it is, a tourist destination. Up your sales with "Purchase with Purchase" most parents just want to get out quickly and avoid spending more money. You're losing sight of what your customer wants and is asking for. Vising a gift shop is about experience for them, that's it. Demeaning, condescending, rude, you name it they were it. Honestly one of the worst jobs I've ever had. I loved working here in this store before this company came in and took over.
