Horrible, toxic company

Pros

You get to see some excellent opera.

Cons

Senior management are toxic, discriminatory and chaotic. This filters down. The salaries do not reflect job roles and as there isn't a proper process for promotion/recruitment, there's no way to strategise your long-term career. Bullying seems to just be acceptable within colleagues. Save your sanity and do not work for this company.

Beautiful venue but no heart

Pros

Easy work and flexible hours. Plus got to watch bits of the performances during shifts

Cons

Management is terrible and does not care about employees. This ultimately reflects in the staff they employ. Co-workers looked out only for themselves, formed cliques and bad-mouthed each other so much. Glad I left when I did.

Pros

Money was good. Great location.

Cons

Bullying, racism, alcohol abuse. Ridiculous long hours. If you complain to management about these issues the department they put it back on you. You will be ganged up on by crew.You will end up out of a job. Terrible union reps that only look after there pals. C.c.tv evidences of assaults going missing by security. Toxic place to be around.
