Pros

The quality of the productions is outstanding, and makes me proud to help put the productions onstage. There are so many talented and wonderful colleagues.

Cons

There is a high level of quality and commitment expected from all artists, union members, and support staff. As a low-level support staff member, I receive low wages and have no union benefits. It is nearly impossible to sustain life in San Francisco as as assistant as SF Opera.

Pros

The people at San Francisco Opera, the love of the art, the dedication to the mission and the honest sense of caring for others is really rare. The caring and openess from the Board President all the way down to the colleague sitting next you is just not something you will find at most companies. Our General Director is genuinely one of the nicest and most competent and credible manager I've ever worked for. And, please, don't think for a minute that management or leadership asked me provide this rating. I genuinely like working at this company!

Cons

Other than normal office politics (which is anywhere), I know I am supposed to add something here ... but there is just nothing to offer in the way of "cons".
