Science Museum Group Employee Review

Cool place to work

Cleaner (part-time) (Current Employee) - York, North Yorkshire - 31 July 2023

The National Railway Museum is a great place to work. The staff are incredibly kind and, although the work can be tiring, it's very rewarding to see the museum clean, tidy, and ready for visitors.The pay rate is only slightly above minimum wage but it's certainly nothing to scoff at, especially with all the amazing benefits you get as a staff member (private health and dental, staff discounts, free exhibition entry to name a few).

Not a good experience

People assistant (Former Employee) - York, North Yorkshire - 7 January 2023

I worked at the national railway museum for around two months, my whole experience was bad. The training to do the job is basically non-existent, "refer to the book" is their idea of training. Now I am in a great job with thorough training where the company takes care of their employees i now realise how diabolical of a place this was and how useless the training was to do the job, maybe i wasn't good enough myself to do the job,but i offered myself up to extra training, they said they couldn't do that , so you wanted me to do better but can't find the time to have helped me... Maybe if they actually put the time and effort in needed to train people correctly it might not be as bad, very cliquey place, seems to be if your face fits then they'll help you, if not, see you later.

Lovely place to work part time

Explainer (Former Employee) - York - 17 July 2022

I worked part time as an explainer and loved the morale of the workers. A fun place to work and managers are kind and understanding. I liked working with different people all the time.
