Invaluable institution with leadership issues
|
|
-Museum has an amazing collection of traditional folk art and self-taught art/art brut.
-There is a really robust calendar of programs that attempt to tackle difficult issues in current events as they relate to history/folk art
-LIC offices are near a donut plant
|
-New leadership makes the office an uncomfortable place to work.
-Staff is unvalued
-Board is blind to organizational issues

You must be passionate to work here
|
|
- Great collection, interesting exhibitions
- A lot of fun events to attend (parties, performances, collection showings, etc)
- small staff of dedicated people. I found my coworkers pretty easy to work with
- I had a lot of independence to pursue projects, work creatively. No micromanagement from superiors
|
- Low pay meant high employee turnover
- Little opportunity for raise or advancement
- I was working 35 hrs/wk with the promise that I would go full time. That never happened and after a few years I couldn’t continue to not have health insurance, so I had to leave the company

`- Rather than hire a number of part-time employees, consolidate duties into full-time positions so that employees can receive benefits. A lot of the job duties of part-time positions could have been performed by one person. While I know that the organization is not in the best financial shape, I do not think the institution can continue to operate effectively if their employees are having to work multiple jobs and unable to receive benefits. You must invest in your workers because they are what keeps the museum running. Also if you promise a potential employee some sort of dangling carrot (IE- evenbtual transition from PT to FT), I highly recommend you honor that commitment

Wonderful Museum, so-so supervisors
|
|
Wonderful cultural establishment in New York, a truly unique place with so much to offer and lots of opportunity to learn about the Museum world.
|
Most supervisors are not looking to help and nurture the younger people that they are managing. They don't want the younger employees to outshine them.

very fun!
|
|
You learn a lot about folk art and what it ACTUALLY is about and why. The internship was in groups and it was a lot of hands on group activities and a lot of group discussions. Very fun place to start an internship at.
|
It was a short time. Not many group members were as active. Every week, 2 would be absent and not go at all and the teachers didnt mind about it at all.
