The new CEO is completely inept. Shady business practices, lies, and he is MIA 95% of the time. The pay rate is below market to begin with and he has repeatedly failed to pay salaries on time with people going over 6 months without pay. Staff is provided with little to no (believable) explanation.
Much of the staff is also placed in the extremely uncomfortable position of dealing with vendors who have not received payment as well.
The festival staff is amazing, it is such an unfortunate waste of talent.
