Cons
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
