I wouldn't work here even though it looks great and I am more than qualified, because the pay is only $16.25 which is wild. It is not sustainable for the region, and it's only seasonal, plus it involves intense work: becoming an expert of the history, constant immersive theater techniques / roleplay in character, wearing physically taxing clothes in hot weather, also engaging in physically taxing and/or skilled tasks (gardening and woodworking and cleaning)... all of which is worth way more than $16.25. Give me a break!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to work for way less than what is at all reasonable?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Plimoth Patuxet Museums
Interview
Based on the reviews and how long the position had been posted and reposted for months, I was hesitant to apply but did so online. A phone screen to start with an interviewer who was pleasant and enthusiastic followed by an invitation to interview in-person. I sent thank you emails after each but never received the courtesy of a rejection email and saw the position was posted again. Unfortunately, my brief experience with the management of Plimoth Plantation mirrors the negative reviews posted here and elsewhere. Management places a low value on the skills, experience, and education of its employees and it shows.

Question 1
Fairly standard questions. What interests you about working here and how does your experience prepare you for working at Plimoth Plantation?
I applied online. I interviewed at Plimoth Patuxet Museums
Interview
Before going on the interview I was made aware by several individuals that used to volunteer for this organization that the management was awful. I listened what these individuals had to say but always think that it's a good idea to go and check things out for yourself. I met with two long term management staff who were not what I call overly friend. In fact they were quite BLAH. The woman did not ask me one question and the man barely asked me anything. I pretty much knew the minute that I met them that I wouldn't want to work under these people. At the end of the interview they said that they had lots of other individuals to interview and that was that. I politely sent a thank you e-mail but never even received a rejection e-mail back. After meeting these two staff members now I completely understand why they have an issue with their culture. These two individuals should retire.
