Metropolitan Opera Association Employee Reviews about "great people"

Pros

Great people, great institution to be involved with, realistic and supportive management

Cons

Hours available and rate of pay not great

Pros

Competitive salary, great benefits, free opera tickets and the opportunity to meet many interesting people. Many of the administrative staff are performers in another life.

Cons

The overriding principle of working at the Met is don't make a mistake. You don't play to win. You play not to lose. This attitude kills innovation and creativity. All the creativity happens on stage. Administration is still functioning much as it did in the 1970s. People live in fear of their coworkers and supervisors. Everyone is waiting for an opportunity to capitalize on your mistake. People are more concerned with their personal advancement than with quality work or advancing the mission of the organization.

Fast paced, but that isn't anything bad.
