Pros

Employees receive a limited number of free tickets but the pay is so low that you are better off working someplace else where you get paid significantly more and just buy your own tickets

Cons

I can only speak for the accounting/finance department but turnover is extremely high. Both the CFO and Director play favorites. If you make a mistake, you are yelled at as if you’re a child. I would skip working here unless you are absolutely desperate to get some experience on your resume. Because an interview is as much an interview for you as it is for them, here are some questions to consider: How is turnover? Why is the current role open? How does management react if I make a mistake? I highly doubt they will be honest but their hesitation might signal to you that they are hiding something.

Pros

-Amazing coworkers -Really fun and meaningful working with the kids -Pretty good benefits -A handful of the managers are fantastic and supportive

Cons

At the core of Discovery Cube is an atmosphere of distrust. Management doesn't trust their employees and employees certainly don't trust management. There's so much red tape everywhere that it could take weeks just for a small task to be completed because it has to go through five people, and maybe one of them is in a bad mood. Extremely concerning disregard for employee safety. No commitment to supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce. Unpredictable and uneven implementation of disciplinary action—really just depends if some manager decides they don't like you. Several supervisors lack the emotional regulation skills necessary to work in management. I could go on but I think you get the picture. I would not recommend anyone apply to work here. There are other places where you can gain similar experience with a better company culture.
