Pros

Lots of artists and good (lower level) co-workers

Cons

Upper management is disrespectful to lower level workers. Lower level workers, aka, front line staff, do most of the work but get paid less than a living wage. Management constantly adds duties and responsibilities with no pay raise to commiserate. They intentionally don’t educate workers about paid time off so that the workers won’t use it. They refuse to pay out PTO upon resignation. Management will call/text/harass you if you call out sick. Corrupt and disrespectful.

Pros

Their galleries are amazing. There is a fun sense of camaraderie among the attendants. Working special events for extra pay is a great way to earn extra cash.

Cons

Upper and middle management tends to be dismissive and views attendants as their personal assistants. While parking is reimbursed, it is still a major hassle to find a space downtown. Very little on-staff diversity, despite a huge installation on their building championing equitability for all.
