Pros

The best thing about this job is the ability to work in a clean and safe environment. Concern for OSHA regulations was very high on the list of priorities. As an artist this was very important to me. The work was challenging and creative. I went home with a feeling of accomplishment every day.

Cons

It is a huge organization and things don't happen quickly. It can really try your patience to wait for things to happen.

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