Political Minefield - Recensione dipendente - Editorial Director presso Houston Grand Opera

Great place to learn the ropes in your career.

I do not have any negatives to call out for HGO.

- Reputable company with dedicated staff members - High-quality productions with artistic merit - Some great colleagues in each department

- Overworked and underappreciated for the efforts put in by entry and mid-level staff members of certain departments - Management's expectations continue to rise to an unachievable standard once a previous bar has been set. They make accommodations for fundraising staff who are high achievers, but who are not team players, and take out their frustrations on the lowest people on the totem pole. Constant conflicting opinions about job performance and approval processes from higher-level staff. Very micromanaging, The Executive leaders need to know every detail of everything happening in the organization. High lack of trust in others. - I have heard managers and senior officials refer to their subordinates as "incompetent" or plot ways to get rid of employees by backing them into a corner that they cannot get out of. - Rumors and gossip about other employees are all too frequent. - Pay attention to the very high turnover rate and organizational restructuring in recent years
