Pros

Cool, modern HQ office in Beverly Hills. Benefits to compensate for the low pay but that’s an entertainment industry wide issue unfortunately. Student loan repayment assistance, tuition assistance, pet insurance, 4 free tickets a year to any concert, coffee bar, in lobby performances makes it easy to network. Very young company 20’s-30’s. Fun, exciting industry to be a part of if you love music. 2 paid weeks off around the holidays.

Cons

Extremely tough to move around & rare career advancement internally unless you work directly under an executive. CEO laid off & furloughed his employees after saying he gave up his salary but got it re-instated months later. Pay is low for the heavy work load. Lots of OT especially during the peak summer season. Winter is kinda dead. Asked for more help but that was impossible so if you’re okay with being exploited.

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.
