Terrible Place to Work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Working around the art, interacting with visitors, great team members, decent pay

Cons

Huge crowds, poor management skills, lack of organization, snarky hr department, no active shooter protocols, long hours, little to no positive reinforcement, idiotic policies that are never written down or made clear, poor working environment, racism, sexism, classism. Ugly t-shirt uniforms. Museum follows no discernible design scheme so guests are always lost and pissed at you. Your managers are insane. No one who works in an office talks to anyone who doesn't unless it is to yell at them. Janitorial staff cleaning up during the holiday party they should have been participating in. Sexually predatory security guards that no one wants to do anything about.

Has potential but is failing

Pros

Good benefits for full time employees, interesting things happening sometimes, decent hours of operation, decent wages but nothing amazing

Cons

Incredible lack of communication overall... it's often shocking, terrible uniforms for visitor services staff, really bad policies that make no sense, the managers yell at employees, there is a lack of written policies on important things (i.e. how to call out sick and how often, or the policy on lateness), lack of follow through with many things
