Pros

Great asset to the community and there are many talented, diverse and interesting individuals who work there with a goal of making science accessible to all people regardless of background.

Cons

Upper Management is terrible to its employees. They are underpaid, lied to and manipulated. There is talk of team building and working together and transparency but there is generally none. While there are some great individuals there, most of the managers, directors and VPs are out of touch with the realities of their staff and are only interested in their privileged positions and in making a buck. They overwork employees and tell them that if they don't work hard enough, then "they don't have passion for McWane Science Center." When funds are tight, those who make very little have to take pay cuts and benefit cuts.

Having a voice, a fairly wide freedom of design direction, passionate participation from colleagues.

Many hats needed to be worn but that is the nature of non-profits

Pros

It's a generally calm environment. After the rush in the morning (maybe an hour), its usually incredibly slow and quiet. You can read a book if you want. The people who work there are all awesome good people.

Cons

It being a non-profit, they pay staff as little as they can get away with...unfortunately I think it's beginning to affect them negatively as they had a very high turnover for entry level and non-salaried staff. Almost everyone I worked with a few months ago no longer works there. If the pay was even a few dollars more I would have stayed much longer.
