great colleagues, toxic CEO - Grant Writer OPERA America Employee Review

Wonderful and inspiring senior staff, including the CEO; incredible networking opportunities if you're interested in opera; colleagues all very pleasant and nice to work with; all full-time admin staff are typically given raises every year.

Organization is complex with a lot going on, so it's easy to get lost in the mix; as a service organization that oversees the opera industry, the work is not always as exciting as a producing organization

their employees are their saving grace, outside of leadership of course.

Misogynistic, and weirdly stuck in this older closed minded thinking orbit of the CEO. Please if you are a woman of color run in the opposite direction of this place. I would spend days crying in the bathroom, they exposed me to mold at one point. Senior staff would frequently come into work sick and in turn affect junior staff. At one point they installed new carpets and didn’t properly ventilate our desk areas because the only windows are in the offices of senior leadership. The ceo is quite literally the most petty, horrible, passive aggressive person I’ve ever met. If you are desperate get in there and get out as soon as you can.
