Pros

Great show line ups, break over Christmas/New Years where most of the company shuts down.

Cons

Really poor management. Promotes people to fill quotas to appear like they are making social progress, but put people in charge of entire business units who only have experience managing summer interns. Therefore many basic management skills are lacking. Pay is also pretty horrible, especially if you are in a major city. Many departments and business units have flat rates which doesn’t account for high cost of living in many markets. Often told there is no room for real raises because people had a low starting salary or they may just have to relocate.

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.
