I have a problem understanding this usage of にしては:

> ファンをないがしろ **にしては** 、芸能人 **として** やっていけない。

I understand にしては to mean **For A, B** - such as **For** the high price of
this meal, it isn't tasty at all (高いにしてはまずい). B comes as a surprise, given A.

But it doesn't make sense to say **For** (the way) he ignores his fans, **as**
(として) an artiste/performer he cannot do such a thing. B is **not** a surprise
to the first half of the sentence, A.

Is there another usage of にしては I am missing?

Unusual usage of にしては?
The ～にしては construction you mentioned has nothing to do with this sentence.

Simply,
[ないがしろにする](http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E3%81%8C%E3%81%97%E3%82%8D%E3%81%AB%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B)
is a set phrase that means "ignore ～", "to make light of ～", etc. `te-form +
は` is a way to say "if ～", which is commonly found in the "～してはいけない"
construction.
[やっていく](http://jisho.org/word/%E3%82%84%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E8%A1%8C%E3%81%8F)
here is "to get by" or "to make a living."

> ファンをないがしろにしては、芸能人としてやっていけない。  
>  One cannot make a living as a 芸能人 if they make light of their fans.
