Pros

- You get to meet and work with some amazing people (the storytellers, hosts, community, etc. are 10/10) - Depending on your role, you get the chance to travel which is a cool opportunity - Steller jr. staff - The events are fun to attend, especially if you're into The Moth programming

Cons

- No clear guidelines for upward mobility in the organization - A lot of white leadership and BIPOC jr. staff with no clear direction for diverse change - Their mission does not align with the actions within the organization: not making many changes to find new audiences, being intentional with casting, minimal BIPOC artistic staff and managers, etc. - Microaggressions from artistic team who are unaware, and if they're told then they don't change -Power hoarding from execs and it's blatant in the Zoom meetings and creative calls... yikes... -Low pay that's below industry standard for many positions - Subpar work/life balance

Pros

Really great place to work and a relaxed but passionate environment with a lot of impactful work being done. Once you join the moth you’re always apart and people stay connected for years even beyond their time here.

Cons

Small company so you may wear multiple hats but it’s good for growth.
