Pros

The people are the best! Everyone is very happy, easy going, hard working, and fun. Everyone is passionate about the ballet and the performing arts in general. This is a great environment for a creative person, not just dancers and ballet patrons. You get free tickets to productions and discounts on classes and merchandise.

Cons

Because it is a non-profit, there are problems with promotions and turn over. It can be quite difficult to move up in certain roles.
