The pay is very low and not competitive but for small arts nonprofits, it's probably standard. Poor choices in hiring and they have a hard time letting go of poorly performing employees. They will waste a lot of time and money trying to get newly college grads to become responsible workers almost as if that's their mission and it makes the good workers have to cover the bad people's work when they both get paid the same, so the good workers become bitter because all you hear about is why so and so messed up or didn't do their work. Or they are just incompetent. They will promote incompetent people to flashy titles because they stayed at the company. So high staff turnover. Usually one and done. Two years max. The good ones will find better paying jobs that won't overwork them. They also waste money (a lot) on employees that don't bring in any income. Employees that do poorly in programming or waste time in office coordination and administration. Then they complain about not making enough money. Senior management has a lot of drama. The old founder is always fighting with people publicly. Too many meetings where people go on and on and never actually do the tasks they talk about it. They pay overpriced consultants consistently to help solve issues that management should solve. Then they never do the things these consultants recommend. Lack of a development team.
