Museum of Fine Arts Houston

The MFAH is a beautiful place to work with world-class art, but this is not a profitable job or healthy work environment. 

I would've enjoyed my tenure there more if it wasn't for the micromanagement and gatekeeping  form management, particularly in the Community Engagement department. This is an organization that does not award credit for achievements or recognize that the majority of the impactful work is performed by underpaid staff. Instead, management takes all the credit in front of stakeholders. 

Employees get a $10 Starbucks gift cards as a holiday gift. 

I worked at Museum of Fine Arts Houston for the Christmas season. It’s an amazing time of year and a great company to work for during that time. Management is very nice and extremely friendly. The guests that come for the Christmas Village are nice as well. We’re compensated well for it to be a seasonal job at $12.50/hr. I would definitely recommend applying. I found the application on indeed a few years ago, best job I’ve applied to. 

As a young adult, I felt stressed to stay put in one room for excess of eight hours everyday. Meeting new people was a plus. I had nothing to do but stand and look at the same room for a long time and not be able to even read a book, too simple of a job. Though some don't care to stand and stare at a wall. Administration is decent and so were the coworkers.

Great students. No support of or organization of faculty or curriculum by management, limited contact with parents of students, difficult work spaces. Be prepared to work on your own and to change your plans at a moments notice. Don't be surprised if you find your project ideas have been borrowed by other faculty without adaptation.

Was assigned to Bayou House museum in River Oaks
Administrative- variety of duties friendly co-workers
Learned a variety of skills  beautiful location
 

I found the management very friendly and willing to work with my busy school schedule. You couldn't ask for more culture than an art museum. Honestly this was the best retail experience I've had, the customers were generally good matured and in good moods after a day at the museum.

Management is rude on all levels. Talks badly on past and current employees. Organizational silos are clear - lack of even the most basic communication between departments. Lack of guidance and expectation to just do work. Everyone is overworked and unhappy. Turnover is ridiculous. 

Assisted museum guests and protected assets. 
Location of art and check off innovatory. 
Good management.
Fun getting to know coworkers. 
Hardest part of job is the hours-Thursday- open till 9pm. 
Getting to help people and talk about art.

Although my time at the museum of fine arts Houston was short; co-workers we're very welcoming and helpful to any adjustments i had to make. Towards the end of my employment there i ran into some miscommunication and disorganization; due to the fact the museum was undergoing a shift and our staff was stretched.

Management and fellow employees are great as well. Your job is to the point and pretty straightforward. Great job for college students/high school looking for part time or full time. Moving up in the ranks is harder but still possible- only if you really want it.
