Great art but too much work given from too much employee turnover
Pros
- Great for opera lovers: Free tickets to every show, very interesting productions, great artistic vision - Unlimited PTO and very few issues getting time off approved - A lot of LGBTQ+ representation amongst staff and contracted workers - Coworkers were incredibly kind and inclusive
Cons
- HEAVY turnover: responsibilities continued to pile on as positions above me left and no additional compensation was given - Coordinator roles were often given manager responsibilities and ownership of tasks - A LOT of expected and unexpected unpaid overtime during nights and weekends, especially during production season - Promised career networking opportunities and conventions that were taken away last minute due to budgeting issues, but additional trips were being added to senior leadership; heavy prioritization of roles at the "top"
