Pros
Students are the only reason to work here. They rock.
Cons
This is a place that does not value employees. There is an inverted pyramid with top heavy management using a dictatorial top-down style of management. The culture is actually toxic. The management is pretty clueless about the strategic imperatives and focuses on petty turf-protecting infighting. Hard to find a worse bunch anywhere. Nobody gets a second chance, there is a pervasive atmosphere of fear. This used to be a decent place to work, now it is horrible. Roger Brown should go back to managing money at his hedge funds, he knows little to nothing about music, academics, or managing people. The board of trustees and advisors is a bunch of paper pushing suits that have no connection to the music industry.
