Pros

Great junior staff, good benefits

Cons

The execs who have all been there for longer than their talent and capability deserves will ruin your entire experience. They think they are holding up the company when in reality they are perpetuating racism, heteronormativity, classism, and ableism. I wish that was a complete list… the junior staff you work with will astound you but that won’t last considering the terrible turnover rate. They will use their non-profit status to use and abuse you, but don’t let that fool you. They are all getting a comparable wage. Search “storyville center for the spoken word” for their 2020 IRS tax records and see for yourself. They overworked BIPOQ, queer, and disabled staff members while making them take a pay cut but they all still earned over 200k. They are the epitome of toxic friend work culture

Pros

Really great place to work and a relaxed but passionate environment with a lot of impactful work being done. Once you join the moth you’re always apart and people stay connected for years even beyond their time here.

Cons

Small company so you may wear multiple hats but it’s good for growth.
