Pros

you make so many friends, everyone I worked with was very nice. The management are very friendly, supportive, and easy to talk with. Some of the employees have been there for years and years. The employee appreciation events are very nice, makes you feel like they genuinely care and put forth effort to show it.

Cons

During the busy season, November-January, you can start to feel like a machine on repeat because there are so many visitors and it gets very crowded and overwhelming. The breaks are not very long, 30 min sometimes only 15 if your shift is short, and you have to stand on the concrete all day. If your feet are not used to it, it can hurt A LOT. I suggest investing in some good shoes with LOTS of support. The pay is not very good at all, I think the fact that there are a lot of bored retired folks here who will take any pay does not help that factor. For all you are expected to do for the visitors, they should pay more.

Pros

For the most part it is a great company one of the largest employers in the area. Very political place, it is all about who you know and if they like you.

Cons

They like to change your benefit plan, tell you they are not, and later you find out they did. Again it is political all about who you know.

Pros

Mostly great co-workers. Wonderful environment to work in...an indoor and outdoor museum.

Cons

Terrible support for changing and improving safe work practices. Manager didn't want to have any sort of conflict even if workers were doing dangerous things. Some of the things that were done could/will lead to injury or death to worker or co-workers. When these practices were pointed out to manager the solution was to smooth things over. There were NO consequences for the unsafe practices. Trying to get support to make changes didn't exist.
