Pros
Some of the people here have been working for a long time, and are very dedicated, talented, and wonderful people. They make coming to work every day worth it. The performances are absolutely wonderful and an honor to be a part of. The theater is grand, the music is enchanting.
Cons
The upper level management team is very much an 'old boys club'. Basically if you are not a white male, you will not be treated as well. So many women have left the development team and other departments, and they all say the same thing. CEO insists HGO is a family, but acts very differently behind closed doors and away form donors. We have watched many, many people leave in the last few years for all of the same reason. Poor leadership, poor communication, poor work culture. While some people can do no wrong, some are treated very disrespectfully. You are told to speak up, but it goes no where.
