Pros

The work environment at Please Touch Museum was extremely toxic. The Human Resources Dept is utterly unprofessional on every level that I witnessed. Human Resources "pretended to care" but then acted completely different. Gossip and unprofessional activity on the executive team and that level is utterly also unprofessional and toxic. Individuals who are talented leave in short periods of time and feel as if they were shut out or not wanted because they tried to stand up to upper management. Ideas that are great are squashed and lower level management and staff are constantly in fear of being fired, reprimanded or written up for no reason. Everyone is afraid of being fired.

Cons

Problems and concerns that were brought to HR were ignored or told that something would be done at a later date or nothing was done at all. HR Dept is extremely unprofessional and appeared to also be a large part of the problem. People were constantly in the HR Dept office for every possible reason. People leave after working very short periods of time. The museum is constantly understaffed and everyone is asked to do more despite the fact that they have too much work already to do. The management staff appear unprofessional and untrustworthy and their lower level staff complain about them. The museum's culture appears to be very negative and has a low value among employees.

Pros

Coworkers are deeply kind and you can tell they care about the space, but…

Cons

…the space is extremely toxic. In my first week, 3 or 4 people quit. Management was patronizing to POC front of house staff in all-staff meetings, in front of everyone.
