Wonderful organization with abusive management
|
|
Most of the people are wonderful and the mission and events are inspiring. But the upper management, particularly the CAO and CEO, are abusive and demeaning.
|
Most employees walk around in fear of “rocking the boat” so no one takes any risks. Things never change there because upper management is so threatened, that approvals take forever—so employees have just given up trying to improve systems that could easily be improved. The Institute is stuck in the past and leadership does nothing to change or move in a forward direction.

Let employees have some autonomy and lessen the endless review cycles. Open up to new ideas. And stop demeaning employees. Your behavior is abusive. Employees walk around scared of you. You think that means you “command respect.” It actually just means you’re a bully.

People are nice and the productions went smoothly. (I only worked as a PA so I'm didn't exactly work with the institute, just for the student productions)
|
Paying jobs to outside workers are few and far between during filming.

AFI once had so much potential....
|
|
Some good people there who care about their jobs or else they wouldn't be there for the low salaries. It is what YOU make it. Benefits are great.
|
AFI has lost its direction. It is completely stuck in the 80's when it was probably in its prime. Nothing has changed from the reviews from 4 years ago. The school tries to create programs for donors and sponsors but its stale and behind the times.
They hire people that either don't care or don't care to rock the boat with the "Senior Management Team" that have no clue. It truly is behind the times and lacks very little respect for a company culture let alone its employees.

Non-Profit Life
|
|
Good vacation and additional time off. If you're passionate about the movie industry, then the events are a lot of fun to work and/or attend.
|
As a non-profit there is always so much to do on a limited budget it's hard to find time to take advantage of the time off.

Increase the staff for fundraising departments so that revenues can increase, which would allow for support staff -- this would lighten the load for the rest of the team.

Come down off your high horse and pay people what they are worth. Placing ads for IT professionals amongst others stating that AFI is a Nonprofit on a modest budget?
Upper management seems to be immune from this modest budget as they are reeling in obscene 6 figure salaries.
Pay people what they are worth, communicate, and treat people with respect.

Development Dept all money, not about Film at all.
|
|
Work for the festival or the school, the rest is not worth it. It has a more corporate atmosphere than artistic.
|
Not enough to aspire to, the company is afraid of change and offending anybody. Responsibility for bad or undone work is passed like a hot potato.
