Pros

Ability to see exhibitions beforehand, access to other museums around the country

Cons

Constantly being belittled and criticized. No recognition or proper training in anything. Expected to jump right in an asume all the responsibility when things go wrong. Toxic work environment. There’s a reason there’s a high turn over rate. Retail Management should be closely evaluated.

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.
