Pros

You get to say, "I work[ed] at Britten" which carries some razzle-dazzle around town for the older generations. You can learn how to cope in a toxic environment.

Cons

Poor management. Under-qualified senior staff making terrible decisions that impact processes, systems and day-to-day work. Dishonesty everywhere. Near-zero long-term prospects and overall stability fluctuates surprisingly often. Lots of "experts" who have no idea what they're actually doing. Most people are just playing the small-town "corporate" game for a paycheck or a line-item on a resume. Bullying and posturing are more common than compromise.

If interested, we would like to connect over the phone or in person to get a more in-depth understanding of your negative experience with Britten in hopes of addressing your concerns. We would like to use this feedback to make any necessary improvements. We are disappointed you had a negative experience with us and hope you find a great, long term career fit elsewhere.
