Pros of working at New York Botanical Garden

If you love plants, there is plenty to learn and see.

Cons of working at New York Botanical Garden

Upper management is interested in personal advancement, accolades and impressing the CEO and Board. Your professional growth, health, team needs, etc. are a very distant second, if a consideration at all. My boss did nothing and contributed nothing of any real substance, but sure reaped the rewards of our toil. Upper management (VP level) is cutthroat and uninspiring.

New York Botanical Garden benefits

There were few benefits or perks. I loved being around the plants. That’s it. No employer matching, no raises, no real training or opportunities for career advancement.

What do you like best about New York Botanical Garden's CEO and the leadership team?

Not much. Beware.

How would you improve New York Botanical Garden's culture?

NYBG is the USSR- projecting power while crumbling from the inside. Ask why Vice Presidents (so many Vice Presidents) stay while the majority of directors, managers and most staff (the folks doing the actual work) are inexperienced and new. The organization is a relentless, soul-sucking, morale killer.

How did you prepare for the New York Botanical Garden interview?

I over prepared for my conversations and presentations. What I wish I’d done is have candid conversations with current and former employees.

How does your compensation at New York Botanical Garden compare to the industry average?

Negotiate a high starting salary, because it will not increase. You will not gain any benefits. The joke in our household is the excitement we all felt the year we all received a free cookie from the cafe during the holidays. Fittingly, it was stale!

What's the diversity at New York Botanical Garden like?

They’ve invested heavily in the DEI initiative, ostensibly to make misery accessible to all.

What brings you the most joy at New York Botanical Garden?

I loved my team and the plants. We performed at a high level for each other- not for our department head or the organization. We motivated ourselves.
