Pros
I got to work with some of the most important people in NYC directly after graduating from college. Attended all planning meeting for exhibitions, alongside expert curators, artists, and academics from all over the world. Worked alongside other colleagues in supervisory position who acted as mentors to me when it was clear that my supervisor was incompetent and abusive. Set up the first ever marketing campaigns with major media agencies to promote special branches and exhibitions at the main library. Left at five, but my supervisor would always ask why I was leaving--even though I was done for the day, the rest of the office had left, and I didn't get OT.
Cons
Had a verbally abusive supervisor who made my first job experience awful. I was called "green" when I actually was green (I began my job two weeks after graduating from undergraduate). My supervisor would constantly tell me that I was doing things wrong, but she would never tell me what she actually wanted. However, every other supervisor that I worked with also had issues communicating with her, empathized with me, and I was thrown a party when I left less than six months after beginning. I've since found out that she was fired and that she went though three subsequent associates. HR did not help me or place me in another position. Instead they contacted my supervisor when I notified them that I was being verbally abused on a daily basis (less than two months after beginning). Obviously, this made things awkward between my supervisor and I.
