Pros
* On the whole, really lovely, dedicated, hard-working colleagues who are world-experts in their fields * Inspiring place to work because of the collection, interesting projects and the colleagues mentioned above * In comparison to other public arts organisations in London the pay in non-curatorial teams is quite good as far as I'm aware * Looks good on your CV
Cons
* Sometimes impossible workload * Little to no opportunity for progression within the Museum * Higher ups seem terrified to address the Museum's past, and to be fair they do receive very negative responses from the public and supporters no matter what they do as there are very vocal people on both sides * A truly toxic culture in many departments. Only now that I have moved to a different workplace where psychological safety is a focus do I realise just how damaging the environment at the Museum was. Blame culture, micro-management, no prioritisation to help with workload, concerns about other colleagues' behaviour to do with sexism and bullying not actioned at all.
