Pros

Brilliant and interesting coworkers. Interesting art.

Cons

Any corner that can cut will be the bread that they keep off of your table and take out of your mouth. They keep people poor and trap them in dead-end jobs by not allowing them to transfer or advance, while encouraging them to have false hopes of being allowed to grow. I've never been involved with an organization with less regard for workers. They endeavor to be seen as a progressive institution, but the view from inside shows the opposite of that.

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.
