private:cooperhewitt https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=416276 Jul 25th, 2018 12:00AM Open Open Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum United States USA Hierarchical and difficult to do most anything I really enjoyed many of my co-workers and felt that there was a lot of (mainly untapped) talent. There can fun opportunities to work at various events and some cross-departmental opportunity to learn. The Smithsonian provides a lot of training opportunity (but with the downside of having to be trained for everything or you are unable to complete your job- training takes a lot of time and you do have to travel to D.C. if they want to pay for you to go). The D.C. staff get a lot of extra perks like staff events at the zoo (as a New York employee, you get to see all the fun perks over email and never get to go). The Smithsonian staff in D.C. seem very nice though. The Smithsonian will contribute a lot to your retirement plan, if you stick it out for a few years. Since it is part of the Smithsonian Institution, you have to do everything by the book, which is fine, however, it takes ages to do anything and can be very frustrating, which can sometimes cause animosity between staff. For example, if you run out of paper you need to submit an order at least a month in advance for it to be approved; if you run out of supplies that's your fault. Additionally, if another staff member gets approved to purchase something and you would like to borrow it, it can end up being a battle and lots of paperwork so you end up having to get things approved for your particular use and people don't like sharing. The management rarely praises people and raises are almost non-existent because of the government "step" system where it is more based off time at the company than merit. When promises are made for certain things like a wage increase or title change, they are often not kept or take so long that people end up feeling like they don't matter. When you talk to HR and ask some basic questions you are often given the run-around or essentially told that your question doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the Smithsonian. HR is aggressive, condescending, and unhelpful. They will bend over backwards to appease anyone who gives them any money even if they are extremely rude to the staff. -1.0 NEGATIVE -1.0 NEGATIVE 0.0 NO_OPINION 0.0 2.0 3.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 416276 Open Act like your staff matter.

private:cooperhewitt https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=416276 Jan 30th, 2016 12:00AM Open Open Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum United States USA Summer Intern Smithsonian institution in New York City. Beautiful location and collection. Nice staff. I have heard they usually pull from their intern pool when looking to hire new associates. A lot of free time, if you're looking for that in an internship. Lack of direction from supervisors. Some days they wouldn't come in at all and left no direction for interns. Disorganized. I would ask for projects and responsibilities, even filling or cleaning on some days, they would be to busy to delegate. 2.0 4.0 0.0 3.0 4.0 0.0 3.0 416276 Open We have several museums we can intern at. If you want good interns, especially those in graduate programs, you have to have adequate programming that offers them opportunities to learn new skills or they won't come intern for you. 0.0 [] INTERN No No 0.0 Jan 21st, 2021 03:07PM Jan 21st, 2021 03:07PM Cooper Hewitt
