Lincoln Center Reviews

Pros

Great place to work, and good people to be around

Cons

More time off if possible since most shifts overlap weekends its a little hard for doing things with family

Pros

Lincoln Center's work has international visibility, and the standards are accordingly high. Many coworkers are highly talented and passionate; incredible people are drawn here. Very good benefits.

Cons

Obsession with "professionalism" and "best in class" (as defined by entrenched white culture) hampers creativity and drives away BIPOC tired of microaggressions and unbalanced scrutiny (young clean cut white males seem to always get a pass and rapidly rise up the ranks). There has been dysfunction at LC for a long time, but in the last year the culture has spiraled. Infighting and sharp elbows are encouraged, and the worst impulses have emerged, along with rock bottom morale. Job anxiety is used as a tool to ensure compliance. This can be seen and heard across many departments.

Pros

Dedicated staff committed to the arts with many opportunities to learn. You are surrounded by the arts and can find ways to engage and attend performances.

Cons

Needs to improve how information is shared within the company. If you are willing to put in the hours, you'll often get a good result, but most of the time there is little chance of being promoted or moving up in the company.

Pros

Depending on the department you can attend free performances. Smart mid-level staff.

Cons

3% yearly promotion and then they always raised health care. POC are not promoted. Hiring of young- right out of college in some departments with no experience as managers. No diversity in some departments. Exec team does not listen to staff regarding what needs to be improved. Board members have too much power. High leadership turnover.

Pros

Inspiring, engaging, fun and great to be around the arts

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth
