Lincoln Center Reviews

Pros

There are some very great people

Cons

Political infighting and unclear pathways for professional development

Pros

Having Lincoln Center on your resume looks good to future employers.

Cons

Not sure what else to say other than disaster. 4 Presidents in a 3 year period. Management was constantly re-structuring departments without thinking about long-term impact. They loved putting bandaids on problems instead of actually fixing them. The HR department is useless and uninformed. If you are a white male you will do well here. If not, get out while you still can.

Pros

Brand name recognition is great; people respect the organization. Very kind and thoughtful co-workers, some minimal flexibility with telecommuting. Great to feel like you're working for an organization whose mission you support. Access to unique experiences, inspiring surroundings and kind, passionate people who enjoy their chosen field and want to help others enjoy theirs. Forward-thinking and inclusive group mindset.

Cons

Like most arts organizations, the pay is meh. As a part-time employee here with other jobs outside, I'm pretty sure my total annual income is as much or more than my supervisor's here, because I can earn more money doing just about anything else. Almost continual restructuring within the organization means anything involving HR (hiring, raises, promotions, role changes) takes months. Really. The red tape is real, and the Organization at-large uses this muddiness to its advantage--whether intentionally or not--when it comes to things like discussing raises.
