Business outlook

Pros

-Ample potential to be involved in creative projects. -You work for a science centre! -It used to be a culture where if you were happy to take on the extra workload you could learn new things that opened up your work experience and that was cool- unsure if that's still the case.

Cons

-Leadership & management is typically externally recruited which can mean there is minimal historical/process-oriented knowledge of how to do certain tasks, how long it should take, how much resources should be applied etc. Makes it stressful on lower-level staff that are consistently being pushed to their capacities. -Pay is low. Especially factoring the level of expectations and targets.
