Pros

Students are very talented. It’s a good name on the resume

Cons

No processes or procedures for anything. People have to “wing it” with little to no resources because higher leadership has absolutely no idea what they are doing. Racism and bias are rampant and unaddressed. The DEI stuff is a joke and purely performative. It’s a mess that damages employee’s mental health, resulting in high turn over, lots of medical leave and inconsistent practices.

Pros

-helping students -talking about music

Cons

-forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
