Business Outlook

Pros

Non-profit, great mission, dynamic, fun, committed co-workers. Financially solid, strong history, stellar national reputation in performing arts and education. Great benefits.

Cons

Senior staff is paid well, mid and lower level underpaid and some what exploited. Rare opportunity for advancement. Years of outstanding performance reviews not recognized with increases in compensation annually even if revenues increase. Challenging political environment. Some Sr. Directors under qualified and poor team builders/leaders yet are continue to be supported by management while their departments lose talented committed staff.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very pretty office, flexible schedule (hybrid, 2 days in office per week)

Cons

Not much, I guess don't expect to get rehired for a full-time position here? They don't have a lot of openings and the pay is definitely below market.
