Pros

If your a music head like me you'll love the free show perks. Some room for growth depending upon the department. Exposure to real industry experience. Good networking opportunities.

Cons

Cult-like, takes a while to join. No flexibility, long work hours. be prepared to not have a life lol The pay and benefits are embarrassing. minimum wag I went from part-time to full-time so I saw both sides. My experience was a bit rough because I transitioned while 3/4 core staff members resigned/ got fired. Pretty alarming for a newbie. I held LN to such a high standard b4 jumping on board but the flame is much smaller now.:( Formal training has to be like pulling teeth. I learned more from making mistakes because I wasn't taught how to do everything properly. I prefer being ahead of the curve if you know what I mean. Avoid the mistake. i was so excited to learn and work and grow but .. Upper management is fluff. Unfulfilled promises, not hands on, just middle men. All men majority of the time. old outdated ticketing systems and methods of business. You'd think they'd be alot more advanced with technology. Holiday parties/ celebrations are cheap. no end of year review, farewell speeches, bonus, or toast.

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.
