Pros
The staff is close-knit and a lot of fun. There are also TONS of PTO days (all federal holidays off, plus two weeks off for winter break and another week for a summer break). Lunch is often provided, which is very generous. During my time there there were opportunities for free class, art fair passes, and gala tickets. The built in perks are pretty good. The main office is located in Midtown Manhattan and it's easy to get to.
Cons
Leadership from the Founder/Artistic Director is nonexistent and lines of communication are very muddy. Founder/Artistic Director is insecure, highly unprofessional, has 0 curatorial vision, and has made multiple off-color comments about employees looks. Employees are not fairly compensated, and the gender gap in pay is incredibly transparent. Decisions are made on an emotional level, rather than a level-headed business level. Executive Director does not have clear understanding of what other departments do. Money is grossly mismanaged, especially when it comes to special events and artist expenses. The entire organization is run and managed very, very poorly and a high rate of turnover speaks to that.
