Pros

Cool place to work and fun meeting other interns.

Cons

Highly inappropriate sexual relationships going on. One of the married women in visitor services was sleeping with an architect, an artist and an intern all at the same time. Management did nothing. This made for a very uncomfortable work space during my internship.

Terrible Place to Work

Business Outlook

Pros

Working around the art, interacting with visitors, great team members, decent pay

Cons

Huge crowds, poor management skills, lack of organization, snarky hr department, no active shooter protocols, long hours, little to no positive reinforcement, idiotic policies that are never written down or made clear, poor working environment, racism, sexism, classism. Ugly t-shirt uniforms. Museum follows no discernible design scheme so guests are always lost and pissed at you. Your managers are insane. No one who works in an office talks to anyone who doesn't unless it is to yell at them. Janitorial staff cleaning up during the holiday party they should have been participating in. Sexually predatory security guards that no one wants to do anything about.
