Beautiful collection, but low pay and little growth

Pros

The collection has some of the most beautiful pieces. Visitors are for the most part happy to be there. Most of the staffers have real passion for the work they're doing.

Cons

Ridiculously low-paying. Visitation is seen as afterthought. Very little chance for upward mobility.
