Pros
Artistic ideas are valued and able to be supported and implemented, especially if you can get the ear of the executive director. It is a well-funded nonprofit so if you know how to advocate for your work, you will get financial support for your ideas.
Cons
Fast-paced and often a sense of "urgency." Leads to little strategy around long term visioning and time for reflection/planning. Large organization that struggles with siloed departments, very little artistic direction from the top. As an employee, there are rarely opportunities for advancement and no guaranteed raises aside from small quality of life bumps that often feel overdue when they are granted. Organization also struggles with a lot of DEI challenges, but is trying to learn to be better in this area.
