Pros

Good benefits for full time employees, interesting things happening sometimes, decent hours of operation, decent wages but nothing amazing

Cons

Incredible lack of communication overall... it's often shocking, terrible uniforms for visitor services staff, really bad policies that make no sense, the managers yell at employees, there is a lack of written policies on important things (i.e. how to call out sick and how often, or the policy on lateness), lack of follow through with many things

Pros

- the small but mighty team is really close knit and down to earth - director/manager is great and really reasonable - really good to get an intern familiar with classical graphic design standards

Cons

- definitely no option for a full-time conversion after internship ends

Pros

The Whitney truly cares about intern professional growth, and they have many events for interns to get immersed in the museum as well as the broader space. You get to genuinely contribute and make an impact in your department.

Cons

Be prepared to be proactive and self-starting, as it is a fast-paced environment where you should be able to hit the ground running.
