Vantaggi
The Rank & File operational staff who are drawn to the mission are some of the best and brightest. Some teams are well-insulated and probably having a blast. People with incredible career arcs land at the museum.
Svantaggi
-And their careers die at the museum. The altruistic desire that attracts so many wonderful people (Educators in particular) becomes a routinely used cudgel of manipulation. The kool-aid drinking and the high school politics of vain, highly-insecure management reveals itself quickly -as well as the incompetence of verbose bullsh*t artists in high places. Truly, advancement is only possible for people who look (and think) a certain way. And there are snakes aplenty who will throw you under the bus to advance themselves -and then speak at a conference with a glowing smile. Do great work for a decade? -No one cares. But if a certain person insinuates a tone in an email? -You're head's on the chopping block.
