Review for Dancewave, Inc., Brooklyn, NY, USA
This company is terrible to work for. They take advantage of their small staff and demand a lot of personal time and personal accounts (zip car, cell phones, etc.) to be used for the company without compensating. The benefits that they offer are dismal, and while the Executive Director will spin a very pretty picture of the work and what the expectations are though out the interview process, once an employee begins, a different expectation is placed on them. If anyone is considering volunteering or working for this company it is highly recommended to get anything that is agreed upon during the offer process in writing because it will most likely get reneged after the employee starts. While the teaching artists are talented and offer great classes, this company is poorly run administratively. Their Department of Education invoices are phony and they don't keep accurate records of the teaching artists working in the schools. They then charge the funder for the hours they claim but aren't actually accurate. Teaching Artists are "strongly encouraged" to not file for unemployment benefits if their class isn't continued as it will "red flag" the company. This company should be investigated and then given some serious management assistance if they are not shut down.
