Pros

- Working alongside a great collection and exhibitions is very rewarding. - Free entry to other museums and galleries. - Tate brand attracts interesting and creative colleagues.

Cons

- Sadly a management culture of mistrust and bullying exists at Tate. Dignity and Respect policy does nothing to actually tackle the issue only ticks boxes for management. - Often overworked, micro-managed and staff concerns ignored. - High turnover of staff. - Very poor pay in comparison to comparable jobs in the culture sector. With 4 years of pay freezes, pay has fallen 20% in real terms. No recognition for dedicated staff, low team moral and virtually no career opportunities.

Pros

It used to be they pay every week, now it's every 2 weeks

Cons

Nobody knows anything. You don't know who answers to who and there is no accountability anywhere. Basically a free for all, just show up and you'll get a check.
