Pros

The people outside of management. Wickedly creative and talented artists and professionals. The art. Beautiful, imaginative and unique creations happening on the daily. Benefits and pay. Hard working departments who were only recognized negatively when things went wrong in the chaos that management created. The formation of the MWWCNM.

Cons

Upper Management including Sr. Department heads, Producers and Exec leadership. Bullying and harassment from Executive leadership. Belittling in meetings, slander of employees, favoritism and cliques. Constant chaos that is called start up pains when the company has been around for almost 10 years (longer if you count the first true exhibits). Lack of guidance, no clear policy or standard procedures. Constant changes with little warning or notice. Lots of Lay-Offs, consisting of people leadership just didn’t like. Outsourcing jobs to out of state contractors. Union Busting. Enough said. Claims inclusiveness but doesn’t want to hire local people-‘talent not good enough’.

Red Flags

Pros

Some cool benefits through local companies, and some very creative minds...

Cons

... what's left of them, considering they laid-off SO many of them "due to COVID." In reality, it's now become an Outsourced Art Collective. Misogyny runs rampant, and is very evident in pay discrepancies across the board. Creativity has been demolished by the corporate mindset. Red flags were everywhere before COVID, and those who raised them out of concern and care for the actual art were the first squashed and/or let go - but that's nothing new, as this is upper leadership's MO. Want to work on thees cool ideas? Then best work with their newly contracted companies instead.

Pros

Creative co-workers are extremely talented and well connected in the arts industry.

Cons

-Lack of accountability in management. -Not looking for bottom up information for growth (If you are lucky enough to find someone in management to listen to a solution or proposal there is a high probability it will be lost in the sauce or your input will be steamrolled out of your hands at which point the actual point of your contribution is lost) -General disorganization from lack of communication/info sharing. -Heavily based on top down management (I applied for 6 or so different positions over my time and was never sought out regardless of qualification or the continually pushed internal ideal of upward movement from within) . -Has moved from working to supporting local artists to now supporting a few and contracts everything out. -Lack of transparency, constantly changing direction without explanation or reasoning.
