NORTON MUSEUM OF ART

An elitist and exclusionary work environment/ culture. Purports to “help the community” but will always hire people from out of state with the right connections/ fancy credentials rather than those that work hard in their community. If they do hire people in community, it is always to fill the underpaid positions. Hardly any diversity in the departments other than custodial, front desk, security 😩 what a shame.

Very much an institution and you have to look the part and talk the talk to make it. Extremely cliquey and very much Palm Beach attitude in the worst way possible. 

Very disappointing and no surprise why they have such a high turnover rate.

The culture here was poison when I worked here. The museum takes advantage of its employees shamelessly. The pay is terrible for the most valuable employees, whom they exploit for every ounce they can suck out of them... and yet they lavish rewards upon the laziest and most incompetent higher ups. 

I only hope that since the opening of the new building and the change in Directors that the culture has improved, however, I doubt that very  much since many higher ups that were the problem are still in their positions.

Many of the people who work at this company are good people, but everyone is spread way too thin within their roles. During season, everyone gets burnt out because the expectations of each individual are too high with a lack of support. Look at how many jobs are listed right now - most of those jobs were only held by the previous employee for a year or less. Make sure you ask plenty of questions about job responsibilities and ensure that you are fairly compensated - if those job responsibilities increase drastically, advocate for the compensation you deserve.

Norton is a good place to work if you want something that isn't very stressful on average. Specific days of the year can be very busy but that's a part of any public space where people come for entertainment or culture. Management and staff are friendly and energetic.

Biggest con is during the slow off-season where there isn't much to do. You also have to be okay with dealing with "high-end" clientele and giving good customer service.

The Museum is beautiful and ii provides a wonderful opportunity for teaching artist. I was contracted for events by a friend and I understand that many of the people who work there got the position because they knew someone who worked there. They seem to have a revolving door situation that I have heard is due to upper management. I did not have to engage with upper management as a regular employee so it was always a pleasure to show up, do my job and leave.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Most staff wonderful but management has no loyalty or compassion towards employees. High turn over rate. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No set work schedule. Constantly changing making personal life needs difficult. Poor manager

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mixed. Depends in which department you work. Work environment in museum store is toxic

From supervisors to coworkers, this was easily the best job I've ever had. Everybody I worked directly with was fantastic, had your back, was fun, friendly. Even employees in other areas outside of my job; the front desk staff, the kitchen staff, and curators were friendly and fun to work with. I haven't been able to find a job atmosphere again like this one, I feel like I'll be searching forever. I miss this job and everybody in it. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Interacting with customers in the store

The work environment  at the store was toxic

Work environment is poor, employees are underpay.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day at the company are employees complaining

Truly awesome place to work. Not too many places in the world when you go to work you are surrounded by such an impressive collection of tapestries, renaissance and modern art. The most difficult aspect of the job was helping people to appreciate that they couldn't touch the exhibits. So customer service skills, had to be used to the fullest.

You will get a wealth of experience and great knowledge working here. There are moments of fun times and moments of stress and I don't regret being there as long as I was. Though if you're looking for advancement you better boost egos and make friends in the right areas otherwise you'll never go anywhere.
