Worst. Job. Ever.

Pros

Free admission to the in house produced shows

Cons

Overworked and severely underpaid staff (even for non profit). Poor management, from the department directors all the way up to the CEO. For most of the senior staff members (who have held their positions for the past 30 years) this is the only job they have ever worked. This would explain why they are so completely out of touch with how a business should be run.

Pros

Great shows, 3-day weekends, wonderful and talented staff

Cons

Salaries are way below industry standards, the CEO micromanages the staff instead of focusing on fundraising, good work is never rewarded by the CEO - not even with an acknowledgment or simple "thank you" and certainly not with any kind of raise.
