Pros

I was super excited to work at Live Nation! Very well known in our area, pretty decent base salary, unlimited vacation and fun conferences. There was also a lot of money behind the projects that I wanted to complete. Also, there are really great people who work there - some of my former coworkers have become my life long friends!

Cons

Now for the cons.... you do not have a life outside work. They literally expect you to be there about 18 hours of the day. You have your desk job during the day, and then you're expected to work the shows at night. Those unlimited vacation days? HA - you have a show every weekend and weeknight of your life and you MUST be there! Also, they have a very "Devil Wears Prada" outlook on the job... supposedly EVERYONE wants that job, and you're the luckiest person to have ever gotten it. Overall it really just depends on how you value your personal life!

Pros

1. Genuinely fun environment. You're working live shows at a major 16,000-capacity venue, so no two events feel the same. 2. Strong sense of teamwork; the ops crew is small and coordinated, so you actually rely on and trust the people around you. 3. Real, transferable experience: crowd management, security screening, event setup/breakdown, and real-time coordination during incidents. 4. Good exposure to how a venue actually runs, including coordination with partner staff like Legends Global. 5. Flexible seasonal structure worked well for me (if you want event-industry experience without a year-round commitment) and you can talk to management about going to other venues during off-season.

Cons

1. Seasonal and event-driven, so hours are inconsistent and concentrated around the concert season. 2. Outdoor amphitheater work is weather-dependent; shifts happen rain or shine (at my venue: Mann Center), and conditions can sometimes be tough. 3. Physically demanding with long nights, late breakdowns, and a lot of time on your feet, you've gotta really enjoy and appreciate shows. 4. Limited long-term advancement within a seasonal role.
