Pros
I'm very passionate about live orchestral music and keeping arts and culture vibrant in our community. I've had a great experience with John Forsyte and the entire Pacific Symphony management team so far, who are wonderful to work with and also passionate about the category. The board, conductor, musicians, artistic team have all been so welcoming and a pleasure to work with! I'm also proud of the work we've done in the community with the Education & Community Engagement team, helping children learn to play musical instruments through the leadership and guidance of talented Pacific Symphony musicians.
Cons
It's not a con, but the non-profit world is just different than the for-profit world. But it's a great place for an entrepreneurial, innovative person who wants to contribute in a positive way.
