Pros

Without these 2 qualities this job would get 1 star: 1. Great and interesting colleagues. 2. Building is a nice place to work.

Cons

A lot of standing and the job is very repetitive bc visitors always ask the same questions. Job barely pays above minimum wage. There are NO possibilities for advancement to other positions within the museum even though quite a few colleagues would be very capable. Promises were made to provide professional development courses. Managers are super self-absorbed and get offended when being asked simple questions. Managers really do not know what's going on on the floor and tend to have tyrannical management qualities.

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.
