Beautiful space, toxic work environment

Pros

Anchorage Museum is a museum to be proud of. It is an important cultural center in Anchorage and stands alongside internationally known museums. Can walk through galleries on lunch break. Garage has limited capacity but if you get a (paid) spot, it is heated and secure. Free health insurance for singles. 10% retirement contribution by employer (not a match). Many employees that choose to work there are incredibly creative and interesting people. As an employee you find out about all the amazing events that colleagues are planning, and can attend if you don’t mind spending free time at work If you like stirring change, don’t need credit for your work, and have a plan B for income, this could be a great place for you. Needs more movers and shakers to confront toxic leadership.

Cons

leadership is toxic and promotes a toxic work environment. HR does not advocate for employees, just perpetuates toxic environment. Many employees are drastically underpaid for no clear reason. I felt under appreciated, even regardless of pay, and many of my colleagues did too. I loved my job but it felt like an abusive relationship

Pros

Worked with some really nice, creative people

Cons

The executive director of the museum is one of the worst leaders I have ever worked under. She has created a very, very toxic environment where people are pitted against one another, people are pushed out or fired if they don't kiss up to her continually, where she takes credit for others' work, where personal time has zero value, and where men are paid more than women. She makes well over 300k a year while many other full time employees are forced to work second jobs to make ends meet due to the low salaries.

Less than stellar culture, not family friendly

Pros

Beautiful work environment, free admission to exhibits, nice location, decent benefits, access to downtown amenities, heated secure parking if you are able to afford it at $100 per month

Cons

Upper management issues, communications issues, some unchecked harassment issues, not very friendly to women employees with children This is really nice place with some great colleagues. Everyone works apart from each other so there is not much chance to get to know others unless you work directly with them. Most folks are friendly. There are some problem long-term employees. There seems to be low morale and a culture of fear around getting fired for small mistakes.
