Pros

Things are well organized, you are not left figuring things out for yourself. People are very friendly and always there to help.

Cons

Very silo-d work environment. The different departments are very isolated from each other, and do not communicate other than officially.

Pros

There is a strong community and network in museum and natural science collections and support.

Working conditions have a standard of museum environment settings, not ideal for those that desire to be outside all day.
