Not a long term job. Constant burn out.
Pros
Meeting and interacting with new people, seeing exhibits, unlimited learning, 401k match, occasional travel, some departments are better than others.
Cons
If you’re pursing an education, have a family or just value days off this is not the job for you. Expect to work overtime on various shifts. Workdays during the peak months is typically 30+ days without a day off on 8-12 hour shifts. You’re responsible for knowing and helping out other departments plus managing your own workload with minimal training. PTO is low and impossible to take due to how short staffed and busy it stays unless you request summer. The market compensation is low, the environment is very micromanaged and toxic. Discrimination and favoritism among co-workers was common. The answer you’re looking for is don’t…unless you really need the money.
