Pluspunten

Resources; looks great on a resume

Minpunten

Extremely toxic work environment; archaic, classiest management system; DEI work 100% performative; favoritism; expected to perform managerial duties without the title, salary, and decision making power required to succeed; retaliation; rely heavily on contract labor and interns; nepotism; discrimination and harassment 100% tolerated; senior staff never held accountable; 1420 classification for librarians and archivists hasn't been updated since 1994 so the Smithsonian is holding the profession back 30 years in terms of salaries and job descriptions but we are expected to have 2022 qualifications and education

Pluspunten

Strong resources and a collaborative culture. Flexible mentorship and the freedom to explore diverse methods and research directions make this an extremely motivating environment to grow as a postdoc and, most importantly, as an independent researcher.

Minpunten

As a large institution, administrative processes and communication (e.g., contracts, payroll, or related matters) can occasionally be slow.

There is a strong community and network in museum and natural science collections and support.

Working conditions have a standard of museum environment settings, not ideal for those that desire to be outside all day.
