Pros

I met some of the best people working at LSC, friendships that have endured to this day.

Cons

One of the reasons my co-workers and I became so close was because of our shared experiences there--we were all in the same boat complaining about how lousy everything was, from the low pay to the ever-increasing workload to the incompetence of middle and upper management. We were also routinely asked to do things (eg., perform skits, babysit children) that were NOT part of the job description. In addition, I saw opportunities offered and given to undeserving people while others with more intelligence and skill were left to twist in the wind. I.e., there was little chance of advancement unless you were of a certain race. I was NOT of that race. I was at LSC for four years and, like many others, was let go because of the pandemic. I wasn't invited back despite being one of the harder-working employees there, ostensibly because it was cheaper to hire new people instead of bringing back the same ones at their then-current rate of pay. LSC looks great to have on your resume...and that's about the only thing working there is good for.

Pros

Able to be creative. Working with others who have a passion for science. Always something new happening. A top notch museum.

Cons

Pay is only a few dollars above minimum wage for an experienced employee and with higher education.

Pros

The employees are very nice. Co-workers are a joy to be around and make the job bearable.

Cons

Low pay for what you have to deal with. Guests will blame you for everything, take their anger out on you, and the manager will side with them even if you are enforcing the rules you were trained to know. Also treated like the lowest of the low. Raise your pay and treat your workers better!
