Business Outlook
Pros
The team of people is amazing, hard-working, and good-natured. There are some good perks once in a while, gifts, small bonuses, free food, and of course free access to all the artwork you could want to see. Celebrity guests often add minor excitement to the day.
Cons
Management is erratic, not infrequently incompetent, and occasionally downright rude and/or dismissive. Other departments can barely contain their condescension for the people on the floor doing the real work. That work is mostly thankless and mundane. High volume of guests means higher chances for daily doses of douchebaggery. Pay is above minimum wage, but not much better. Absolutely NO opportunities for career growth in the creative side of the museum industry.
