Pros
Morale is great during the season, seasonal artists and employees truly care about the work they’re doing and help to make the campus an enjoyable workplace during the summer months. Production quality is outstanding for a three-month festival. One of the best apprentice singer programs in the country.
Kontras
Low pay, especially for the cost of living in this area. To echo other reviewers, some managers should not be in leadership positions (in any capacity), and there is no clear vetting process beyond an annual employee review. Micromanaging is an issue within departments that have experienced significant turnover in recent years. Gossip culture is prevalent and draining for those who don’t want anything to do with it, and there is no real way to avoid the negativity or commiseration while working year-round. Compliments paid to dedicated team members are often met with vitriol from others who openly dislike their jobs.
