Pros

Was nice meeting new people, taking photos, and editing pictures all day. nice environment being located inside the air and space museum.

Cons

low pay. management is terrible, the higher up's don't care about there employee's. possibly the worst company you can work for because you don't move up.

Pros

Great mission. Strong benefits including health insurance and 403b contribution. Many people stick around for 5, 10, 15+ years.

Cons

Things are sometimes slow due to bureaucracy.

There is a strong community and network in museum and natural science collections and support.
