Pros
Seeing the beautiful dancers onstage can sometimes make you forget you work for a hellacious company.
Cons
Genuinely the most dysfunctional organization I’ve ever seen. The heads of the company are former dancers who know nothing about running a business, the senior leadership team trades insults openly, both in meetings and through thinly veiled gossip. Passive aggressiveness permeates the building and positions are filled with former dancers or interns who have no relevant skills or competency. The select few who love the arts or have the actual talent to better the organization are hamstrung with excuses, saddled with inept teams they aren’t allowed to fire, and so overworked due to the rejection of adding additional employees, that no one in their right mind would work here. Many aren’t in their right mind inside that building. The proclivity toward internal, cross-departmental promotions places decision making in the hands of oftentimes folks who don’t even know the subject matter they are supposed to be leading, and the number of fully grown adults participating in manipulative practices is astounding. The Board is also blind to the real state of things, other than the instances when they are actively working to cover it up and avoid external exposure. Not to mention the Artistic department lording over everyone with the most inflated egos and hostility that even the dancers band together against it. This company is rotten through and anyone thinking of working here needs their head examined.
