Pros

The only pros are the benefits and that there will eventually be paid time off.

Cons

Working at MoMA was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. The environment was terrible. Gossiping and petty feuds between guest assistants is rampant. It seems like they are trying to get each other fired. There is a strict seniority policy among them and new employees will get the brunt of it. The senior employees seem to hate the job at take it out on the newer employees. You are treated like a second-class employee by all the other museum departments. The work is draining and the treatment by management is degrading.

Pros

benefits (seemed to be the only pro I could count).

Cons

management struck me as extremely insecure, dysregulated, and childish. displayed what scanned to me as a disgraceful level of narcissistic, abusive, and antisocial behavior, which was shamefully enabled by the institution. deeply broken and ugly.
