Engaging Projects but Serious Management Issues - Anonymous employee Classical Movements Employee Review

They offer an exciting and challenging work environment creating meaningful concert tours all over the world for major symphony orchestras, youth orchestras and top choirs. They incorporate meaningful cultural experiences into each individualized tour and often we travel with them to facilitate the fine details and see all our hard work in action. They have a fantastic team that support each other and work well together on joint projects and pitch in when needed so everyone succeeds. They offer health care and flexible benefits, 401K options and more.

Depending on the time of year you join the team, it can be a challenge to jump into the middle of a project and get up to speed. During our peak tour season you are juggling multiple projects at a time. However, with experience that gets easier to manage your workload throughout the year.

Hard working coworkers, but all burnt out. Benefits are so-so.

Insufferable, micromanaging, abusive, myopic owner and boss. All of the problems of a small company with few redeemable qualities. Everyone hits burnout barely months into the job. Little to no training at the start and eventual blame for mistakes because of it. Abusive and factory-like culture of overwork. Employees are not empowered to make decisions or think creatively, and eventually just stop trying. Only 7-10 days vacation, and only 1/2 federal holidays off (!). No recovery days off given for long travel. Very little respect for employee opinions and requests; employees feel afraid to speak up. STAY AWAY. The job looks good on paper but reality hits hard and fast, and your mental health is the first thing to go...
