Pros

Program development staff were the kindest, down-to-earth people. They were great to work with!

Cons

Limited growth opportunities. You can become a developer when a position opens and start earning commission. If you stay on as an assistant, one may get a raise of $1K or $2K only. Negotiated starting salary up from $32,000. Management would never reveal what developers made, but it seemed most of it was commission. Because of this, one's first year as a developer makes less than an assistant since you get paid after the first year of sales.

Pros

Many of the employees themselves are fun people

Cons

Because they are in the arts they act like they don't have money. This is a for-profit company and the upper management will act like they don't make well over a base six figures a year. They will ignore any requests for a raise and gaslight you, saying you should be grateful to make $30,000/year (which is below the base liveable wage for NYC). They keep commission a secret, so compensation for the amount of work done is highly skewed and some members make close to six figures (or more) while working an average of 4-5 hours a day. Members of the directorial team have been known to freak out over non-issues and use profanity against the staff, as well as act incredibly inappropriately toward female staff members. There is also no HR (the "HR" is a family member who is there maybe 2 months of the year), so this sort of thing goes unreported.
