Business outlook
Pros
Great work life balance with ability to telework. Unless one is in curatorial or advancement, it is possible to have a 9-5 job. Smart colleagues. Some great collections, and you feel good about sharing it with the public for free.
Cons
There is a lot of bureaucracy. Getting promotions is slow and may take years, and is not always fair or based on merit. Favoritisms and lack of transparency on how decisions are made. Lack of diversity in most departments. Pay is not great for entry level and/or early career colleagues in comparison to the DC area, but is good if you a have PhD and in comparison to other public museums.
