Pros

The days go by fast. Free granola bars and coffee.

Cons

Do not be lured in by the bright colors and promises of inclusivity. Meow Wolf's internal corporate culture is a corrosive toxin. Warning: Despite what is advertised, this is definitely not a safe space. No organizational mental health support, nepotism, fraternity mindset. The team, both management and customer-facing, is clique-y and not empathetic. The job is not art-focused. You just sell tickets, clean up dirty diapers, and wait for the day to be over. 1/10 - avoid this place. Work at your local movie theatre instead.

Pretty Toxic

Pros

The usual. You can grasp the best benefits from the reviews. PTO, especially for salaried workers that don’t have black out dates.

Cons

The differences between INC and LLCs are drastic. Exempt and non-exempt have always seemed caste like to me. Very different feel than when it was originally founded. Probably because the largest shareholder at this point is a shell company owned by Disney. One of the most cliquey places I’ve worked, it’s cult like. If you’re looking at non-exempt, go elsewhere especially if you have ambitions. If you’re going to be exempt, good luck and may the clique be in your favor.
