Flynn Center Reviews

Take it or leave it attitude from management. They constantly imply in meetings that you're overpaid. They expect you to attend zoom meetings, answer emails, and give advice when you're not even on the clock. Facility is falling apart and gear is outdated. Management has little regard for crew safety or well being and doesn't understand the actual physical work of putting on a show. Nobody in the front office went to school for theater and they need every single element of stagecraft explained to them. No promotion from within, ever. Management consistently scapegoats lower level employees. Serious case of "nonprofit mentality". They think that every single thing has to be done for as little money as possible and it ends up compromising the product. During covid they let the entire stage crew, some with 20+ years of service, to rot on unemployment while bringing in contractors to produce outdoor shows. No holiday bonuses ever. Benefits are very poor. No chance of a raise, ever.

Nepotism/favoritism in the culture, lack of accountability and transparency, frequent changes in leadership, low pay, poor benefits
