Pros

This is easily one of the most intellectually stimulating places one could ever work. The staff is chock full of brilliant people, from the insanely over-qualified person taking tickets all the way up to the world-famous curators. That, combined with an ambitious exhibition program make this a place where it's very hard to get bored. And the ability to see an unparalleled art collection galleries free of the public is a truly extraordinary privilege.

Cons

The price for this incredible work experience is laughable pay and a senior management that (despite their frequent vocal claims to the contrary) does not value its staff. A job at MoMA will broaden your horizons, expand your mind, and beggar your wallet.

Pros

benefits (seemed to be the only pro I could count).

Cons

management struck me as extremely insecure, dysregulated, and childish. displayed what scanned to me as a disgraceful level of narcissistic, abusive, and antisocial behavior, which was shamefully enabled by the institution. deeply broken and ugly.
