Pros
The other visitor assistants are lovely people, the art is (usually) great, and reciprocity means you can go to lots of other places free of charge
Cons
Where to start? Pays less than a living wage, constantly understaffed because management refuses to grow the team unless contractually obligated to do so by the owner of an art piece, you're regularly asked to do things that fall completely outside your normal job description, management is either incompetent or lazy, there's little to no upward mobility past the VA supervisor role, we have no say in any decisions made that affect the VA team, the only reason our pay is more than 15 an hour is because they were scared we'd go on strike like the MFA did... The list goes on
