Minimum wage for a "specialist" postion

Junior cataloguer

Pros

You get to handle some interesting pieces

Cons

A very toxic workplace with bullying in more than one department. Zero career progression unless you've been there over a decade. Barely minimum wage for a 40hr a week job which involved meticulous work. When the specialists were on double and doing half the amount of work and making numerous mistakes. A very archaic company who have obvious favourites. Destroys mental health. Do not work for this company.

A Toxic, Fear-Driven Workplace That Destroys Morale and Mental Health

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

None - horrific workplace environment. Unfortunately, I had to select 1/5 stars when in reality this place is a 0/0.

Cons

- The owners’ daughters ("the twins") create a toxic environment through bullying and manipulation. - HR is completely ineffective, loyal to the twins, and won’t support you if you raise concerns. - Serious incidents are dismissed with no proper investigation or accountability. - An inexperienced HR manager was hired to avoid resolving issues and protect the twins. - Open hostility, intimidation, and inappropriate remarks (including racist comments) go unchecked. - The atmosphere is tense, draining, and filled with anxiety — employees operate in survival mode. - Many staff have become numb to the toxic culture because it’s been normalised. - If the twins don’t like you, they will find a way to push you out. - This job can seriously impact your mental health and sense of self-worth.
