Avoid the Education Department - Educator The Field Museum Employee Review

There is no room for growth in the education department and they value the status quo and the illusion of power over anything else. People with no management experience get moved up the ladder and create a truly toxic work environment. Every single person I worked with, outside of management, was actively looking to leave. The vibe is "you're lucky to have a job." They work really hard to make sure that people are silo'd within the department and within the museum. The management is known to be personal friends with HR leadership. Trying to make any change, do innovative programming, or general make the museum a better place to work/be is met with arbitrary punitive actions, pushing out the brightest people. Being racist, ableist, sexist, and homophobic will apparently move you to the top!
