Saint Louis Art Museum

Being an attendant is the easiest job I’ve ever had, to the point of being woefully boring. The only stress comes from management/higher ups. Individual managers genuinely care for their employees, but complaints are easily lost in such a large system. Without a remedy the lower staff is left unhappy and it shows. Expect lots of childish behavior like talking about employees behind their back and making ‘an example’ out of them. The individuals are great but the large system of cogs in a wheel sucks all enjoyment from the job.

I typical work day at the art museum includes; light cleaning in the morning and walking around through out the day to ensure the safety of the art work. I assist guest in the museum by making sure they know where they are going and making sure they are satisfied at the end of their trip.

As a volunteer Docent I enjoy the tremendously rewarding experience of meeting the public from all backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences.  The museum's vast collection and periodic professional development programs has allowed me to reinforce my knowledge of current and past developments in artistic styles and movements.

Im a unique person who love art music & different cultures It was a beautiful experience to be apart of tact teamwork..people come all over the world to view the essence of Art Saint Louis has to offer #1 we held upscale events such as weddings partys banquets and more with the best quality 5 star foods

I learned a number of career related skills and certifications from the museum.  It was definitely a neat place to work, and had great people to work with, but I needed benefits at the time and was not getting that as a part time employee.

This job is enlightening and fun. You will work with all types of children, but mostly children. With that being said, it is extremely important to have patience. Creativity is also important when it comes to this job because you have to facilitate art projects and community art programs.

I've only recently started here, but I can tell that I'm in it for the long haul. The museum is gorgeous, the coworkers are nice and fun, and it's a super easy job to boot. Just make sure to wear comfy shoes since most of the day is spent on your feet.

The museum is an amazing place to work, but unless you are upper management the pay will be on the lower side of average. "Because you're in a nonprofit environment." However, it's a 37.5 work week with paid over time (rare) and you'll eventually get a hybrid schedule. Working in the park and around the collection though? Does make it worth it! 

I worked here for 5 years and it was the best place I’d ever worked. Everyone was friendly, hardworking and understanding. This is a place you can thrive as long as you come in with your best foot forward which is not hard to do here due to the great environment.

The Information Center staff is an amazing group of people that is great to work with.  Being at the desk gives you a chance to learn not just about the Art Museum but also the St. Louis Area. They use many different programs for all their processing, which can be a little inefficient.
