OH there isn't enough room for me to write all the cons. It's honestly one of the worst and most frustrating places to work.
- No organizational structure whatsoever so everything is unbelievably disorganized and chaotic from an administrative standpoint
- Management sometimes comes from a solely dance background which is great as it's a ballet company but they need to hire actual administrators who actually know how to manage a business
- On the flip side, sometimes management comes from a solely administrative background with absolutely no knowledge of dance...HIRE ARTS ADMINISTRATORS
- Completely inept supervisors
- Supervisors talk about their employees behind their backs, with no intention to provide constructive feedback that would actually help the employee
- Toxic work environment, cliquey staff and management
- Absolutely no diversity in staffing
- Staff are coming and going CONSTANTLY which is a sign that no one wants to work there long term. Because it's not worth it.
- Staff always asked to do things outside their responsibilities with no compensation or appreciation
- PT staff hours can change at a moment's notice because of the supervisors' personal feelings towards them
- No room for career development
- Staff favoritism like crazy
- Definitely not an "open-door" policy, they'd rather you keep your head down and do what they say no matter what
