Textbook definition of toxic work environment

Pros

You get perks to the park such as employee discounts and free entries to other museums and the Zoo, and there are pockets of good people within the organization.

Cons

This is the worse and most toxic job I have ever had, it is exploitation at its finest as they refused to pay a decent wage for the amount of work that was being performed. This is a non-profit organization that is trying so hard to be a corporation like Disney and were so out of touch. This was the textbook definition of a toxic work environment.

Pros

Breaks/lunches as required above average pay

Cons

Huge separation of reality between office personnel and frontline workers the company as a whole hides behind this mask of inclusivity while not standing up for their employees if they are mistreated by guests which happens ALL the time.

Pros

- You know your hours 2+ weeks ahead of time - Some perks like free tickets to the Science Center and other San Diego establishments - Free entry to places like other Balboa Park museums, San Diego Zoo, etc. - Actually fun training experience (scavenger hunt, watching an IMAX movie, etc.) - Most coworkers are good people

Cons

- Management is out of touch with the needs of front line staff and doesn't provide an open door for input before decisions are made - Differing requirements from management depending on who the supervisor is that day (for example, I was told that the dress code was "nice pants" during training, but then later got called out for the pants not being black). And I had bought "nice pants" specifically for the job. Had I known they needed to be black, of course I wouldn't have gotten pants I wasn't going to be allowed to wear to work. - Some guests can be really rude (especially some of the older guests, unfortunately). - You get really bored on slow days, and spending time doing anything to occupy yourself (crossword puzzle, etc.) is discouraged - Not a lot of room for personal/professional growth
