Pros

Inexpensive lunch, free entry into other museums world wide, friendly and polite co-works, encouragement to further my education. I love that I work at the Frick, I like to brag about it. There is crown molding in my office. My co-works are kind, supportive, brilliant, funny, warm, encouraging, generous, silly, hardworking, and a joy to be around.

Cons

My supervisor is none of the things my co-workers are and there are no resources to better the situation. There is no way to resolve any issues with supervisors or co-works should they arise. Only one person in HR and that person seems too busy planning parties to assist in resolving issues. When an issue is presented to this person, this person does not act as a mediator rather this person just makes the issue worse and then never follows up. Terrible coffee.

Pros

•hourly wage better than similar roles •The Frick really is gorgeous •reciprocity with other museums (so you can see other museums for free and usually can have a guest) •most visitors are really nice

Cons

•Direct management is…mixed. They can be nice but either can’t or won’t stick up for us (and I’m not sure which to be honest) •Senior management treats us with disdain. •Only part time work available (see above) •Limited opportunity to get to know other departments. •Pretty much a bloodbath when there are opportunities for advancement. When you have 50+ part timers who are overqualified, the flaws come out. That’s not specific to The Frick at stuff but I don’t think they do enough to help it either.
