      Pros

      - See great artwork and objects not easily seen elsewhere - Work with experts in the fields - Good benefits package

      Cons

      - Unless you are in a high up position, pay is minimal for the amount of work you put in - Strong personalities that can wear a person down after a while - Not always easy to advance up the company ladder - In certain positions the work/life balance is more work than life

      Lack of opportunities to grow with the company or advance for even the hard-working, dedicated or loyal employee.

      Pros

      Exciting, fast-paced environment working with many smart and talented people.

      Cons

      Expect to work long hours (and weekends) for low pay. Organization lacks the desire to develop young and dedicated staff or provide on-the-job training to those who express an interest.
