Pros

Amazing music, artist and stage experience. Great people. The energy and hum of the opera house during the season is intoxicating and exhilarating at the same time.

Cons

- There is no solid direction from management/board at the company - There is no rhyme or reason as to how they pay nor promote people in the company- out of touch with the standards of this area regarding pay and advancement - Work your butt off for no pay, no advancement, no appreciation, no incentives and no acknowledgement of performance. - No training - sink or swim
