Pros

Free admission to the in house produced shows

Cons

Overworked and severely underpaid staff (even for non profit). Poor management, from the department directors all the way up to the CEO. For most of the senior staff members (who have held their positions for the past 30 years) this is the only job they have ever worked. This would explain why they are so completely out of touch with how a business should be run.

I do not have any cons!

Pros

Scheduling is flexible, management is reasonable, and they have apparently have improved their shift trade system.

Cons

I don't really like the patrons there, I don't like the colleagues I work with, and the pay is barely above minimum wage.
