Fabulous team and atmosphere. Looked forward to each day with them.
Gallery Security Attendant (Former Employee), Elkhorn, NE –
Pros: great staff that hadn't changed, great hours, worth every penny.
Cons: no benefits, chance for advancement, and very low wages.
My typical day at Metropolitan Community College, was filled with classes, a few hours working in the bookstore, and then a few hours in the gallery. I learned about book sales, buy-backs, returns, and rentals. I learned how to make great choices to fit my budget as a student; skills that I could easily share with other students that frequented our – more...  store. I also learned a lot about different forms of art and how to install and take down without damaging it. I also learned to be a judge in auctions, and I volunteered at several a year. I also had the chance to help install grande works of art such as the building of a Cave-Bar/Entertainment room. The management in both jobs was super to work with. They were very hands on, helpful, and willing to give everyone a chance. The hardest part of the job was leaving. They were great to work for, but did not offer any benefits or long-term advancement opportunities. – less

English Litreacy Volunteer
Teach English (Volunteer) (Former Employee), Omaha, NE –
Pros: free lunches, free access to necessary office supplies, and excellent reading material.
A typical day at work (Usually Saturday) involved helping international students learn the English language and prepare them for a competitive job.

I learnt how at times we have to come down a knowledge level from what we know to make the others understand how things are done and use visual aids to help them learn better. Management was very supportive – more...  and motivated me to work more. The most enjoyable part was seeing how these students view the world, and the smiles on their faces once they graduate to the next class. – less

Good place to work, but only if you're able to tolerate the internal politics.
Admin Asst. (Current Employee), Administrative Center –
Pros: good benefits, paid tuition, paid leave
Cons: pay is below industry standard, company politics.
Good place to work, but only if you're able to tolerate the internal politics.

The benefits are very good, but the pay is way below industry standard. There is employee longevity, but mostly because the benefits are what keeps people around, if that says anything.

The hiring process in VERY slow, sometimes up to 5+ weeks to get an employee hired (from – more...  the interview date).

Company tends to only protect and defend upper managers, but not other staff members at lower levels. – less
