Business Outlook
Pros
Full time work; contracts last 10 months, rather than just a summer season; hourly wage with overtime; several paid holidays
Cons
Goodspeed advertises their apprenticeship program as an opportunity for college grads to expand their training and perhaps move into a staff position with them. It's not. Apprentices are just stage crew, with very little opportunity to receive any training or assist in building shows. The "apprenticeship" program seems to just be a way for them to get away with paying crew significantly less than a stagehand's usual rate.
