Maryland Science Center Baltimore Reviews

Pros

Employees are friendly, helpful, The atmosphere makes you want to come to work

Cons

Camp-In program leaves the place smelly and dirty for employees when entering the building. Feel that the students should not still be in the building. It puts a little bit of a damper on the mood in the early hours. They just never seem to leave on time. Does not look good for incoming patrons.

Pros

Work life balance. Ability to choose your availability. Co- workers are awesome

Cons

Pay could be better. Sometimes lack of hours .

Pros

Free parking on site flexible schedule

Cons

Low salary Toxic culture Rivalry between departments Back stabbing

Pros

Great shows and staff. Demonstrating science principles is lots of fun. The Shed has great maker programs, and the planetarium and new exhibits are awesome.

Cons

Low pay. Management is out of touch with current science and education principles. Fun as an entertainment venue but if you want real science go somewhere else.

Pros

fun work environment good people opportunities for independent work supported in trying new things and taking some risks with programs rewarding on-floor experiences little time spent working outside of assigned work time (other than taking care of management issues that arise) constantly being exposed to new ideas, disciplines of science, etc. opportunities to create and carry out programs for specific audiences

Cons

work weekends and holidays for lower pay than almost all other positions in organization no room for growth or promotion no raises (other than minimum cost-of-living increases in 3-5 years) minimal/no investment in staff development continual increases in duties and staff managed senior management chase and fund new projects seemingly without direction poor/late communication and mistrust of staff due to fears of things being "leaked" to other local museums general mistrust of the management abilities of supervisors by senior management

Pros

-Great environment -rewarding work -ability to work independently at certain times of the year

Cons

-No room to move up within the museum. If there's a job opening, no communication to employees for possible promotion. -Lack leadership in certain department, communication can be bad at times, leaving employees to find information on their own. -typical low pay found in a non-profit
