Toxic Environment - Lead Carpenter La Jolla Playhouse Employee Review

Pros

Free alcohol on opening night that you are going to need by then. Located on the beautiful campus of UCSD with lots of hidden spots where you can go and cry on your lunch break. Full IATSE union health care once you qualify.

Cons

Grueling, dangerous work in unsafe conditions. Working under people who don't care about you for stagnant low wages. Getting laid off for weeks at a time when there is no work.
