Overworked, underpaid - Production Worker DCINY Employee Review

Lovely team and great concerts!

Very sparse throughout the year.

Many of the employees themselves are fun people

Because they are in the arts they act like they don't have money. This is a for-profit company and the upper management will act like they don't make well over a base six figures a year. They will ignore any requests for a raise and gaslight you, saying you should be grateful to make $30,000/year (which is below the base liveable wage for NYC). They keep commission a secret, so compensation for the amount of work done is highly skewed and some members make close to six figures (or more) while working an average of 4-5 hours a day. Members of the directorial team have been known to freak out over non-issues and use profanity against the staff, as well as act incredibly inappropriately toward female staff members. There is also no HR (the "HR" is a family member who is there maybe 2 months of the year), so this sort of thing goes unreported.
