Pros

Great colleagues, surrounded by artwork all the time, first dibs on new exhibits, fairly flexible work schedule (good for a student/freelancer)

Cons

Terrible upper management in all FOH departments, high turnover rate = constant revolving door of FOH staff, FOH creates value for the museum but is constantly micromanaged and underpaid, VERY FEW opportunities for career growth

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.
