Even part-time employees are given opportunities to share ideas and contribute, which is not common in larger museums. Leadership is very engaged, CEO learns names of all employees. Very collaborative environment.

Pros

*Your coworkers are the best part of the job. *Employees come from many different backgrounds. *You get signed up for a pension. *You contribute to a 401k through the job. *The pay is pretty good for a state job.

Cons

*Leadership here is out of touch with their employees' needs and talents. *Have witnessed leadership reprimanding an employee during a large meeting where it was inappropriate to do so. *When making decisions that directly affect staff, the said staff are not included in the process. Even if the decision does not make sense, it will be stood by at the detriment of employee morale and retention. *Yearly raises don't exist here. *Goes with said above: good work is often overlooked and not rewarded.
