If you're considering a job here, you probably have a decent background in film and marketing (or managed to stroke the ego of management), but PLEASE look up the work history of the management in Audience Development and understand what you're signing up for because they totally don't. The Audience Development department is a complete joke as its very white management consists of people with zero experience or background in marketing. They take any form of feedback towards their leadership as a threat and in turn make it difficult for their often younger and POC employees to move up, succeed in their current role, or even stay at the company. They justify continuing to promote existing leadership to focus "less on politics and bigger picture thinking" when they should honestly be put into management training at the very LEAST (they also need to understand that using company time to "study" on lynda.com does not count..true story). Many of your hours are spent attending meetings listening to said management trying to convince everyone their role is important in pretentious college book terminology yet when talking about social media strategies, they don't understand the difference between a selfie or a photobooth. They expect you to be at your desk from 9am-5pm on the dot no matter what the quality of work you put in as in the person who sits at their desk online shopping and twiddling their thumbs is deemed more favorable than one who would like to work from home to flesh out an entire marketing campaign. Unnecessary old school style of management. What's more appalling is that even if the company is nonprofit, this is essentially a brand that capitalizes off of telling diverse stories, yet the people who are responsible for leading the marketing efforts for these diverse stories are white and all their junior staff (who existed at the time) were/are of color.
