Theater is Great... BUT...

Pros

You get to work with theater and help make the magic happen.

Cons

-The union staff does what it thinks is best for the union and disregards the will of the elected leadership. -The staff keeps elected leadership in the dark and tries to "package" information for them in a way to get the specific outcomes they want -Pay is terrible -You can search salaries for the organization on their annual LM5 form which will show you how unequal the pay is. There are people there making well over $100k for doing little work and then there are others making $35k.

Toxic place to work

Anonymous employee

Pros

I really got on well with some of my colleagues and the job is easy. If it weren't for them, this place would be unbearable

Cons

It was an absolutely terrible place to work. The amount of people they pushed out, or forced to retire was too high. They are a labor union where half their staff were unionized, but management doesn't even abide by the staff's union clauses. They pay atrociously and if you are not part of a small 'elite' group of upper management then you are either fired, forced out, or your life is made so miserable that you have no choice to leave. About 90% of the people I worked with hated their jobs and leaving this company was the best thing I ever did.
