Pros

The people you work with in the immediate are wonderful. They're funny and kind and there's a good team spirit among your immediate peers. The job is fun, you get to make people's dreams come true helping them meet their favorite artists.

Cons

However, being a part of a larger corporation within the music industry means that you're just a number. Don't try to advance, don't try to make waves, or you will be struck down. In addition, women are not looked at as equal, as the entire company is a boys club. Many people simply exist as part of the "burn and churn" meaning you're replaceable so they burn you out and then find your replacement.

Pros

Honestly great, no micro managing, laid back, straight to the point job. My managers trust their employees and I love that!

Cons

Sometimes there will be “bad apples” I’ve experienced that, but overall great place to work!

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.
