Pros

Somewhat flexible scheduling, very basic tasks that require pretty standard social skills. Makes it easy to stay in school and juggle multiple commitments. You don't need to have a field of study in science to work here.

Cons

A lot of caring people in admin either left or moved on, and the gaps left were filled with people who have zero compassion or empathy for the associates who work the floors. Often managers (we call them coordinators) side with rude and downright offensive guests. They often walk around the exhibits and micromanage to the point where the environment is so hostile and toxic, the anxiety and stress bled into my personal and school life. HR was very unhelpful with several of the issues I had at Liberty Science Center, and often a lot of what was said in HR was not kept 100% confidential. If you can put up with abusive guests and uncaring managers, it's a pretty steady job, though the pay isn't very impressive. The entire place is run down, extremely unprofessional, and not educational in the sciences at all.

Such a rewarding company to work for. Seeing happy families and brilliant kids walk in the doors is just one of the best things about the job. There are always fun events to work in so you're never bored. Super flexible hours.

None that I can think of.
