Carnegie Hall Reviews

- As mentioned in the title, there is lots of potential at this org. Lots of smart and hard working people. And, many of them are manager-level and below in rank. Much of this potential won't be achieved, as much as there is talk and discussion every season, given fundamental errors in pay, incentives, and, thus, morale. - There has been, in recent years, a drive to the bottom when it comes to paying employees. It's actually quite shocking how low the pay is for many of the entry-level employees, and even managers. I had joined Carnegie right when this pay pattern started to emerge. - I feel terrible that for many of the associate-level and below employees really didn't have much room to grow. It's really being at the right place at the right time, rather than be recognized for the value one may add every fiscal year to the team. - Many of the directors also have little say when it comes to giving merit based raises. And, as much as I hate to say it, many of them are also out of touch with reality when they're being compensated with 6-figures.

- Below market salaries. Seriously, I don't even know how some of my former colleagues are still working there. I suspect that a lot of them come from well-off families that they don't have to worry about finances but for me personally, the low salary was completely unsustainable. They don't even offer 401(k) for their employees. - Promotions (even vanity promotions) are not linear and really depends on who your supervisor is. Some supervisors tend to promote their team without being prompted, some (like mine) needed to be asked. - No room for growth unless you get really lucky and the person above you leaves. - The director of my department made racial micro-aggressive remarks which made me want to leave. I don't want to work for someone like that, ever. - Don't bother working here if you're a minority. You get treated differently.
