Business outlook

Pros

Exposure to the Arts. Career focused on culture and the community. Great team of staff to work with. Interesting projects to work on. The directors I worked with were excellent mentors and leaders.

Cons

Below average salaries (even for non-profits). Very long working hours. No investment in professional development (below a directors role). Very high turnover. Health benefits are co-pay. No other additional benefits are offered to staff (*aside from tickets to attend concerts which is a nice perk).
