San Francisco, CA

Former Employee – worked at Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco full-time

Pros-Generally a 9-5 work schedule with minimum overtime
-Surrounded by artwork which is a huge inspiration
-Getting to see the exhibitions before it opens to the public
-Educational
-Being cultured

Cons-Pay sucks; not competitive for being located in San Francisco and when it has high rent (the pay here would put you in the low income tax bracket if you get hired on as a Union employee)
-Culture is horrible; everyone I knew that worked there hated working there and wanted an out (some even told me they wouldn't mind getting fired)
-Upper management lacks leadership
-Always seeking change, but never implementing it; all talk

Advice to Senior Management-Reward employees for doing a good job
-Focus on improving the work culture
