Very low pay

Business Outlook

Pros

The best reason to work at Boston Ballet is purely out of love for the art form and for the company name

Cons

The pay is humiliatingly low. cleaners make more hourly than a pianist who has trained decades to be playing at this level. The disgustingly low pay rate speaks loud and clear about how the company undervalues its employees.

Pros

Free tickets to performances Nice peer colleagues Flexibility with remote work Access to professional talent/artists

Cons

Senior leadership in some departments (not all) is terrible and serious management problems are swept under the rug or completely ignored. School leadership is especially toxic. High turnover/good employees leave Low pay Little career growth

It’s a great experience

Business Outlook

Pros

Teams are very collaborative and everyone speaks very highly of each other. They provide ample opportunities to collaborate and grow. Managers are never afraid to congratulate you or tell you how well you’re doing.

Cons

They pay decently but for the brand recognition no one seems to make super impressive salaries. It’s a smaller non-profit so there’s not too much mobility - but if you’re looking for a small business with younger employees it’s great!!
