Pros
Some very nice overworked staff and volunteers, great location and fairly well regarded as a verdi production house. Staff wise new faces to get to know all the time.
Cons
About a 30% turn over each year I have seen so many come and go over the last 4 years - promised a lot but the reality is very different (good staff leave or are fired - yes fired they make the others look bad so they have to go - it gets old and its hard on the patrons with so much turnover). Very long hours - 17 plus hour days in season and serious staff burnout working all day and then standing around until midnight (that's 4 months of your year for very little money but hey thank you we couldn't do it without you). Inner circle gets to come in at 10.30 am and leave early - for the rest its grind with management that really can't quite get it together, alliances and back stabbing- constant counter marching, finger pointing and no ownership of decisions and ambitious goals without the know how to get there. Outward face is smiles and thank you's but serious internal issues and bad mouthing of board, donors etc and if you are not part of the inner circle then watch out - such a shame it could be better. If you are thinking about working here run for the hills.
