Pros
Working for a historic and highly respected venue within music industry (from a production standpoint) sets you up for a great network if you utilize it properly. Staff are young, talented, and ambitious, and in many ways a family. Be a part of creating and promoting some of the best live concerts in the US.
Cons
CEO/owner is a sexist joke throughout the industry and association with I.M.P. could ultimately hurt future career prospects if not framed realistically. Recent scandal involving CEO soliciting prostitutes is only the tip of the iceberg. Incompetent company favorites/family members of CEO are always promoted over those with more experience, while regular employees are constantly gaslit by upper management promising growth opportunities and pay raises that never materialize. Unpaid interns and underpaid part-time workers are strung along with little-to-no opportunities to learn about the industry or network. Both venue and office staff are considered disposable by upper management and little is done to improve quality of life or meet even the most basic concerns. Turnover is constant to a degree that should be alarming to upper management. Pay is atrocious, particularly for DC.
