ETC reviews

If you do not have a theater background you will feel oddly out of place in administrative roles. Practically everyone has some of their family working for/with them. From Husbands/Wives/Children all working in the same department to management's children interning in summer. People get hired here based on who they know, whether they are competent or not. Upper-management is pretty removed from the actual workforce. They are more concerned with their public image than their employees training and development. They try desperately to emulate Apple and Epic but fail in execution. They do not have solid processes or clearly defined expectations for duties and responsibilities in roles or a consistent performance review and rating process.

Only members of the president's church are promoted to senior positions, with a few exceptions. Be prepared to be talked to about "faith". Perhaps not as part of company doctrine but when you hire everyone from your church, what do you expect? Frequent announcements about "recod months" are made, but raises have been 0-2% for many years. One has to wonder where the money is going. The other review is correct about budget cuts as well; they get cut a few times per year. Non managers must never question a manager's authority on any subject, even if they are not experts. Managers have been known to walk out of meetings, threaten non managers with hr action, etc. but since most of the managers all go to church with each other, they have each other's backs
