Pros

A pretty relaxed environment with very reasonable managers, not at all corporate feeling and it is very conscious of the fact that it is an arts organization. I have been very happy to work there. Pay is very good compared with other NY museums.

Cons

Outside of long hours standing and coat check as part of the rotation of duties, the biggest con is that part-time staff are temporary with no benefits and full time staff are permanent with full benefits. Super unfair, especially for part-timers employed for over a year.

Pros

- the small but mighty team is really close knit and down to earth - director/manager is great and really reasonable - really good to get an intern familiar with classical graphic design standards

Cons

- definitely no option for a full-time conversion after internship ends

Pros

The Whitney truly cares about intern professional growth, and they have many events for interns to get immersed in the museum as well as the broader space. You get to genuinely contribute and make an impact in your department.

Cons

Be prepared to be proactive and self-starting, as it is a fast-paced environment where you should be able to hit the ground running.
