Pros

The shows themselves are fun to be around. The staff on the ground are by and large great people.

Cons

The model is tired and broken. There were no real growth opportunities, and the lack of direction made it difficult to succeed. The work environment was disorganized, with limited support and unclear expectations.

Pros

Employees gain exposure to new music and the culture of a dynamic, creative industry.

Cons

Leadership has been a consistent pain point for many employees, though it is too early to evaluate recent changes in executive leadership. The company has faced ongoing concerns around racial equity, ranging from overt incidents to microaggressions, and workforce reductions have notably diminished diversity over time. Career development lacks clarity — title structures are inconsistent, compensation growth is limited, and pathways to advancement are poorly defined. Employees also report an imbalance between workload and recognition.
