Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Guggenheim Museum full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
- Supervisor can make or break the experience - If you become a favorited employee you can really grow - Perks (events, exposure to art and artists) - Lots of junior level staff so its easier to take on more earlier if you are given the chance - Some turnover at Sr. Dir./Dept head levels could mean there's new company culture in various departments
Cons
- Toxic work culture - Not diverse - Some departments are extremely difficult to advance within - Senior Leadership is a joke - doesn't have a true idea of what is happening with staff and is the reason the organization began the pandemic in a free fall - Compensation is not nice; not the worst museum compensation in town but far from the best; if you aren't married to museums and art you can receive huge salary increases at different type of nonprofit for the same work
