Business outlook
Pros
-Working for the Smithsonian. You get to see exhibitions before anyone else and meet some amazing people. -Flexible working environment -Great benefits (if you qualify for the higher rate of leave)
Cons
- Lack of diversity. While there are interns from different backgrounds, the permanent staff are overwhelminghly White women. - Poor job security. Positions are for one year only and are grant-funded so there is a lot of uncertainty about whether they will continue to be funded year on year. - Being stretched too thin. Because of the way the department is funded, staff are often asked to take on new projects at short notice and/or with tight timelines.
