No career advancement; discriminatory atmosphere

Pros

-Mostly great staff -Surrounded by beautiful art and objects -Opportunity to travel and learn from knowledgeable specialists

Cons

-Underpaid -In the four years I worked there, only received a review ONCE. Management is against reviews as employees usually ask for raises, promotions, or seek to discuss a career trajectory. In general, there are no opportunities or interest in fostering a dialogue between management and staff especially in regards to growth. -There needs to be more of an HR presence as office reeks of discriminatory atmosphere and practices; cannot say how many time I heard racist, sexist or homophobic language around this office.

Pros

The people who end up working here are mostly good hearted, down to earth and fun, and thats how they manage to keep most of their staff from jumping ship! If you just want to punch in 9-5, be a worker bee and do the minimal amount of work on a day to day basis, this is the place for you! A lot of flexibility to do other things other than work, maybe even a second job!

Cons

Low Wages, No interest in new ideas. Thinking out of the box seems to be discouraged. Inefficient business process's and systems that go down for days at a time. Bureaucracy out-weighs what is best for the company! It's an old boy's club, so don't expect that being good at your job or woking hard will get you a promotion or raise. It won't, and I'm not just referring to myself!
