Pros
-Free movies -Well curated programming -Good wages
Cons
-Lots of down time between films
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Prestigious organization, get to meet and work with interesting artists, supervisors are invested in your growth and success
Cons
Artist services works long hours, you can't have much of a life outside of work, and it's unclear why that's needed. Not much room for growth, not worth the pay. Upper management is a bit of a mess, emphasis on "we're a family" over making sure everyone is treated/paid equitably
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Depending on your department, the people are great You get access to the shows/movies Non-director level staff are unionized
Cons
They do not care about you as a person Executive staff turnover has been high and staff do not have high confidence in their leadership Undervalued and underpaid

Historical Place to Work
Mar 2, 2022 - Project Director in Brooklyn, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The employees who work at BAM all really come together and form a close bond. If you are at the director level or above, the pay scale is rather decent. The ability to work with a diverse and high caliber of artists is one of the main reasons I choose to work there.
Cons
There is a hierarchical structure that prevents those lower on the totem pole from ever working there way up and/or making a great salary. Since I left a union has been put in place so that may have changed. The focus on EDI initiatives seemed rather phoned in.

Great colleagues, poor leadership
Aug 26, 2021 - Manager, Marketing in Brooklyn, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Worked with many talented, passionate, and friendly professionals who were generous sharing their time and knowledge. Access and contribute to so many enriching and fun art and cultural events.
