Pros

Creating a supportive network of individuals. Exposed to a variety of scenarios that help you develop soft skills.

Cons

Management does not give the tools to people who have the knowledge and experience in order to evolve. They are not open to feedback that could be beneficial for the better experience clients could have.

Friendly people, great art, poor pay

Business Outlook

Pros

- Mostly very friendly and knowledgeable people who truly understand their field. - Genuinely interesting day to day, lots of exposure to fantastic exhibitions and events as part of your job. - No crazy overtime expected (this can vary by department & job title). - Good place to start your career - depending on role/job title, can be a good foundation for both art and non-art careers. - Generally good culture, helpful and fun people

Cons

- Poor pay for London, in virtually all but senior roles. Very little room for negotiation and raises, even long-term. This ends up driving out some very talented people who need to work for a living. Staying long-term is only sustainable for independently wealthy people who don’t have to rely on a day job to survive. Entry-level roles aren’t too far from minimum wage. - Some managers/specialists are very poor at managing people (screaming for small mistakes, unprofessional/rude comments etc). - Very little wfh flexibility. - Too little training, you’re often expected to do things you’re not trained to properly perform. Good thing colleagues are very helpful
