Pros

Berklee College of Music has developed the most extensive Work-Study Program in the country. They offer jobs with real applications to the music industry and the majority of staff and teachers are former students. Many students who excel in their Work-Study Program are hired immediately upon graduation as supervisors.

Cons

There are few negatives about Berklee's Work-Study Program. The new-hire training is sufficient, but I would like to see a more outlined and developed training program.

Pros

-helping students -talking about music

Cons

-forced to train the ai bot that will replace you -despite being the top performer on your team and being reassured repeatedly your job is secure, you will get laid off with no explanation or respect -c suite prefers to keep their 500k+ salaries and 80k+ bonuses even if it means laying off 80+ employees who only make 55k -CEO led first layoffs in berklee's entire history, no transparency with any managers, no discussion or anything -CEO used money "saved" from layoffs to give other employees bonuses and buy unnecessary property
