Pros
Company name holds value on a resume, great exposure to artwork and events, tend to promote within which is nice if you plan to work there long term. Ultimately happy with my experience but nothing to rave about.
Cons
Low pay regardless of seniority, so most people who work there have family wealth and can afford to work there without good pay. Serious lack of diversity (they know it and don’t care). Maybe 3 people of color in the whole New York building so it’s really just a bunch of white prep school kids who grew up and could afford to work there for the prestige while their parents foot the bill. High turnover rate. Seems like the dream to work here in the contemporary or impressionist departments until you do and realize it’s nothing special.
