J. Paul Getty Trust Reviews

Pros

I worked at the Getty for 10+ years. It is a very progressive, intellectual community. Salary and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 403b) are comparatively good. They will reimburse some educational expenses if it is directly related to your work.

Cons

It is very hierarchical with few opportunities for advancement. The culture is quite rigid and there can be a lot of politics. Many of the people in management have art backgrounds but no management training.

Pros

Great colleagues, beautiful campus, the collection, every other Friday off, like-minded people who really enjoy working in a museum

Cons

location - doesn’t help that the museum is next to the busiest freeway. Parking, pay, elitist attitude, managers who clearly shouldn't have been managers

Pros

Looks like heaven, feels like above.

Cons

Oddly soulless for an art institute. Believes in Medieval feudalism and crushes the bottom rung of people, although referring to low level employees as people might get you written up.
