      For Those Who Love and Support the Arts

      Pros

      Being a part of organization that produces amazing operas.

      Cons

      Many employees have been with the organization 10+ years because they love the arts, but that means that management has little incentive to create a positive company culture for employee retention.

      Pros

      Most of the employees are great to work with! Beautiful offices and beautiful venue. State of the art technology (network, infrastructure, computers) due to the awesome IT department. So much fun working in the Arts District.

      Cons

      Several bad apples that make it difficult to work as a cohesive, collaborative team. Sometimes treated as a FTE and not an actual person. Long hours for many employees which lowers moral. Tone at the very top is discouraging.

      Performative—on stage and off

      Pros

      It's a nice perk to receive free tickets to each production in the season. Attention is also being placed on bringing exceptional talent to the stage. Certain members of the company also understand the value of bringing a dying art into the digital landscape by filming the productions and I applaud them for spearheading an often under appreciated and under funded endeavor.

      Cons

      Employees are not empowered or encouraged to innovate in their roles. The motto is very much "stick to the status quo because that's how it's always been done." The work environment is filled with gossip from all levels of staff, including the most senior, and double standards are regularly discovered. If you are looking for work/life balance from your next company, this is not the place to find it. On the benefits side of things, there is no paid maternity leave...in 2023.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking to grow as an organization and are proud to say that we have recently added Paid Parental Leave to our benefits package in an effort to support working caregivers in the arts.
