Very supportive environment

Values team work, supported by colleagues, management is willing to work with life's changes to accommodate you
|
Strict dress code (covering tattoos can become unbearable on hot days), COVID-19 (not enough room to safely social distance for guests and workers on a busy day, allows people to be exempt from mask rule with verbal confirmation of a medical condition)

Wide array of education, customer service, and classroom management skills practiced on a daily basis. With the exception of employee supervision or developing curricla, it's a great resume booster!
Feel like you are making a difference and actually contributing to marine conservation and sustainability education.
Your coworkers aren't just your peers--they're family!
|
Opportunities to advance are not necessarily based on skill, but on longevity at the organization. Few opportunities (if any) to move up.
CEO and higher management are out of touch with museum research, diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.
Many times the management asks for feedback and then it is promptly ignored until something goes wrong.
Tough to have a work and life balance in this position. There are overnight shifts, 10+ hour days, and very early mornings/late nights each week in your schedule.
**This review is based on experiences prior to COVID-19 pandemic. The company culture and job roles will likely change significantly**

Easy Work, Bad Management and Environment
|
|
Works well for students since they only require two days of availability.
|
Bad management that never supports staff even when customers are rude, even if they are cussing you out. Customers can sometimes be terrible, which can be very disheartening. Pay is minimum wage, and there are almost no opportunities to move up. They prefer to hire outside the organization for management (salaried) positions. Never plan to try moving up, since it’s a job to pay for college, but I imagine that it would be impossible to earn a living wage with just this job, especially during the slow seasons (fall and late winter).

Amazing!
|
|
I adored working here! The staff is so talented and fun, and I learned so much about myself, our oceans, and our world while here. I always felt supported. I always felt prepared.
|
Busy days or holidays were the days that we were short on staff *all of a sudden* which can suck because it stresses everyone out.

Good for going to school or extra money
|
|
If you’re in high school/college or need a part time job this place good for that. They work well with you’re schedule most of the time.
|
Management is this department can a joke. Human Resources for this entire place is a joke. Stay to yourself and never complain and you’ll stay on the good side.

Not Great due to HR/Management
|
|
Beautiful place to work, made some great friends, will work with school schedule
|
Minimum wage for maximum work, little to no training, terrible HR, most positions do not allow you to sit, require you to be in the sun all day, so much gossip and drama

When someone comes to you saying they’re being harassed, do something about it.
Thoroughly train new employees.
Sr associates — why do you get paid to make Starbucks runs on the clock?
