Pros

If you are a lover of the arts, ballet in particular, this is a wonderful place to work. Being around the dancers and such creative and artistic people is inspiring. Attending performances and dress rehearsals was always fun. Beautiful building and performance theater, and truly some of the best coworkers I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

Pay is not great, and many employees work nights and weekends during performance season. The culture can also be very toxic. Senior leadership definitely plays "favorites" and I saw way too many hardworking people get fired or leave on their own accord because leadership made their lives miserable. The artistic staff also has huge egos. Employees need to be better supported. I left due to terrible and unsupportive management. A shame because I loved my coworkers and I love dance.
