Science Museum Group Employee Review

Nice place to work but low pay

Senior Press Officer (Current Employee) - Bradford, West Yorkshire - 31 May 2023

Overall the museum is a really nice place to work, but struggles with a culture that is not collaborative, uninspired and unaccountable. Colleagues/teams work in silos, and projects are not properly resourced. Management seem disconnected to the realities of the culture of the organisation and the issues with resourcing and retention.

Stressful

Customer Service Advisor/Administrator (Former Employee) - Bradford - 20 April 2023

Bad management, poor conditions, unfair payments, not given enough time for breaks, you have to work through your break. Stressful working conditions. No lockers to safe guard your belongings, pay for parking your car, unhealthy galleries no access to drinking water, unprofessional managers. Not a nice place to work for, so glad sad days and stressful working hours are over.

Pros

You have to pay for your lunch

Cons

Long hours, short breaks.
