Meow Wolf Employee Reviews

Overall it has been ok

Creative people with wonderful ideas but it feels like leadership is more interested in doing what they want than listening to what people need.

There are unrealistic expectations about workplace due to relative inexperience of the staff, but it's one of the best places I've ever worked.

Specifically, the city i work in, Meow Wolf is run by a bunch of people who love casinos and only care about stats similar to hotels. They are run by people who dont ynderstand what the embodiment of what Meow Wolf is. meow wolf was supposed to be a safe space for the weirdos, but not this place.

Im sure Meow Wolf is a great company to work for if you're an artist or work for their Inc. (corporate) portion, but the people who actually operate their attractions are in job hell. It's insanely disorganized, with no support to managers who are trying to make it better. Theres no accountability.

They are in a hard spot to solve a hard problem.

They share the progessive values of the company

They are for the most part approachable.

The leadership team is a mix of solid industry experience and people who have grown with the company. The founders are are still heavily involved.

Meow Wolf is Fierce!!! All Fierce!!

Letting employees do their job without micro-managing. Over working employees.

Leadership needs to take a payout. No one should be making over 300k a year while the lowest employees barely make 34k. Be more communicative and open about what's happening instead of randomly laying people off every holiday season. Take better care of those who keep the customers coming back.

Communication & Accountability. They have to step up every time a worker gets harassed

Literally everything. They hire great managers with a lot of experience and then don't let them run their departments or use their years of expertise to better the operations teams. They keep opening buildings with the same failing model and employees are obviously frustrated

The founders need to retire and bring in seasoned leaders. The founders were creatives, but it's an entirely different skill set to run the company.

It's more than I've been paid previously

The vision and the dental dont come out of our paucheck at all.

The health care benefits are amazing

100% Employer Paid medical, dental and vision. Extensive PTO and holiday benefits. Paid Parental Leave.

Takes into account a lifetime of dedication.

Growth Map, actual training & travel to other exhibits.

Pays below Industry standards for Las Vegas

Cost of living is high and we just don't make enough even as ft employees. My coworkers can barely make rent. Some have to steal to eat. We asked for a food pantry to help those with food insecurities and it was denied. They don't care about us. They just care about the money.

The pay would feel fair if operations managers weren't expected to work non-stop and give up their own self care to run this place. There is zero work life balance and when you tell your supervisor that you're exhausted and about to break the most common response is "me too"

Actual leadership and review process that's fair and transparent. Too many "high-paying individuals" in the room that serves no apparent purpose.

Friendly and helpful. We are a good team.

The vibe & talent. Good hearts.

Many members of my team had a good sense of humor and worked together to get the job done.

Smart, creative, innovative, and optimistic

The people supprt wach other but not upper management

So many bullies are in my department. Nothing gets done about them. They spread rumors, lie, bully and make work miserable. We started out great but the way they're cutting corners and eliminating positions it's getting harder to want to be there.

The staff is entitled and doesn't want to work. There are no consequences for people who call out or don't care enough to do a good job

really wonderful people, but when put into a toxic situation, insecurity tends to breed negative behavior.

Great people, but the worst come out under pressure and constant job insecurity.

Friendly and helpful. We're are a good group z

The staff & surroundings. Vibe again.

Supportive HR and excutive managment

Creativity and art--the idea that we can be part of something positive

dogs are allowed in the work space?

Trust. There is none. We get lied to about so much and then they do the exact opposite of what they say. There is no transparency or open communication. We often find things out when we're in trouble or people are being laid off.

Better compensation, more clear boundaries, and less micro managing

Stop building this company on the backs of your operations staff while just burning through them and not caring

Hire employees and Leadership with quality experience and proven results.

It was very quick. I went to work very soon after my last interview.

Variety of people to interact with.

It was fun and exciting. You never knew what was going to happen.

The interview was fair and simple

It felt fun and led me to believe it would be a supportive work environment

hard to tell what they are looking for, it was as if they are figuring that out during the interview.

It's super fun to watch the kids have fun.

Purpose and other people. Atmosphere.

Coming up with new ideas

Seeing all of the amazing ideas for future exhibitions

My coworkers, and the great interactions I have with travelers.

Stop expanding and start concentrating on making your buildings better and bringing people back. Market better, start showcasing your employees and show people why they should come back. Take care of what you have and when that's good, then expand.

Hire people who know how to accomplish tasks on time, creatively perfect, and under budget.

The company culture feels bad overall. If you aren't in a specific group of people in the inner circle, you really don't get a say or matter to those that can make important decisions.
