Good place to gain experience - Visitor Services Associate Historic Bethlehem Partnership Employee Review

Nice people. Very interesting work.

Not enough structure. More direction.

Opportunities to meet and work with interesting people: fellow employees are fun to interact with (when you have the opportunity to not work alone)

Management overworks lower level employees and treats them very poorly (underpays them, poor hours, bad treatment overall). Upper management is incredibly tone deaf, both in their marketing and in their interactions with employees. No room for growth and no opportunities to advance. Taking the initiative with even the smallest projects is punished harshly - this is an incredibly cookie-cutter and narrow-minded organization in their approaches to technology, history, public history, public interaction, and museum/historical society organization in general. It's also an incredibly disorganized institution - if it seems organized, it is a façade (below the surface, and in the back room, people are loosing their minds and unable to juggle everything happening in an organization that is understaffed, holding onto outdated curation and docent practices, and almost totally technologically illiterate). All of these factors make them difficult to work with and for and the most unfortunate aspect is that it sheds a very poor light on the city of Bethlehem overall.
