Difficult to break through

Pros

Very stable financially and well supported within the community. Hard working, intelligent colleagues who are passionate about what they do.

Cons

Very stuck in their ways. There is a little to no room for experimentation or risk-taking which is completely contradictory to "companyspeak." Upper management are mostly lifers and don't make room for new ideas, therefore fresh blood tends to see a lot of turnover. I was literally told, "this is a moving train and you either get in or get out."

Pros

Small tight knit community. Compensation is good if you have previous work experience. Company's small size means everyone does meaningful work. Good hours, 9-5. Five days a week. 35 weeks of work.

Cons

Men paid more than women. Rehearsal period 6 weeks long for 1 performance week. Company employs very idiosyncratic technique that disallows work elsewhere in the field unless it is reversed upon departure. Repertory is 80% directors choreography, remaining 20% is cheap an not particularity historically significant or cutting edge when newer.
