Pros

Awesome perks, free shows, barista making fresh gourmet coffee, occasional free food, open bar in lobby, fun parties, decent work/life balance. Get to work in the wonderful world of live music.

Cons

Depressingly low pay. All I hear is that this company compensates with free/cheap merch/food/drinks/shows instead of paying a living salary. Up and moved hundreds of people from Hollywood to Beverly Hills with a 30 day notice, increasing most peoples commute by an hour. If you are lucky you may get to work from home once a week, but between the low pay and longer commute, managers losing their offices to work in a open floor plan, you can expect to see a lot of openings with the company in Beverly Hills. I know 2 people who have left, and 3 people on my team alone have started to update their resumes. Now its 4 with me.

Thanks for your candid feedback – it helps us understand what we need to focus on. We look at salaries every year to make sure we’re paying our people fairly for the work they’re doing. If you’re struggling, talk to us about it. We don’t expect food or perks to make up for what is necessary to pay the bills. We value you and encourage you to reach out to your HR partner to discuss your concerns. In regards to the office move – we’re sorry to hear about your experience, its information for us about how to get better at communicating when big changes are happening. The leader of your division communicated about the move when all details were finalized, so that they were sure the most accurate info was shared about who was moving where and when. That said, we hear you that it didn’t feel like enough time for the transition. Moves can be hard – they affect everyone differently based on where they call “home.” For many employees, we’re hearing positive feedback that their commutes have been shortened significantly. Either way, we are dedicated to working with employees on flexible arrangements when possible and helping them think through carpooling or commuting options. Please talk to us before you consider leaving. As for the open floor plan design – we believe in it. The brand-new office mirrors our space in NYC, which has proven to be extremely productive. Employees at all levels, including our senior leaders, are sitting in the middle of the open-space office, and are accessible in a way closed doors didn’t previously offer. We are striving to create an environment for collaboration and relationship-building within the space as well. If you need help with that transition, reach out to your manager or HR Partner. There are tools to work in this kind of space and we’d be happy to share them. If you’re willing to share more recommendations, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly: LizDyer@LiveNation.com.

Pros

Great benefits, free concert ticket raffles, free occasional merch, employee lounge with nice coffee machines, and snacks, etc. Nice place to get experience, but most people leave.

Cons

- Rarely promote, rather hire temp to save - Pay is low, even at corporate level - Management Perks: get to work from home, another state, preferred parking, con for us regular emps. - Secretive on Important changes: Large part of 7060 Hollywood and 1800 Highland staff was relocated to Beverly Hills. The move was kept a secret until a month away from the move. People are upset, parking has not been confirmed, people's commutes have increased by min. 40-1.5 hour, have quit, or voiced quitting plans for early next year.

We are sorry to hear that despite what you liked about all the great benefits and perks, you didn’t have a great experience here. The company’s culture philosophy is around “taking care of our employees.” If you felt that wasn’t the case for you with regard to pay – we hope that you reached out to your HR partner to discuss this. Thanks for your feedback about the timing of the move communication – helps us understand what to do differently next time.
