Pros

There are lots of great shows you can see. Great place to make contacts in the business. A good resume builder.

Cons

Long hours, insufficient pay for what you already do. Very little guidance even when you try to go to management for help and extremely poor communication from them as well. Little recognition for going above and beyond (It's almost like it is expected from everyone to get the job done by their deadlines even if you have to work until late at night or even the middle of the night for days or even a week at times). Always good for adding things to your job but never raising your pay. The company is always changing peoples job responsibilities or adding to them rather then hire more help.

Pros

Casual work environment, flexible working hours, accessibility to senior folks, and depending on your team, in my case, great teammates.

Cons

Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way that the very senior executives at Live Nation have zero interest in retaining talent and has said as much through their actions by eliminating the 401k match, keeping salaries fixed year-over-year, proudly stating that annual reviews are just not done here, restricting bonuses to a few key C-level execs, and leaders purposefully dodging career development questions. I have never been more disappointed by the leadership of any organization than here at Live Nation. I advise prospective job seekers to pass on LN Corporate--it is not worth the heartache, abuse, and frustration. There is just simply no recognition, reward or opportunity for advancement. Promotions are not based on merit but rather haphazard chance. I have not even begun to scratch the surface of the discontentment across the organization and it is growing by the day. It really pains me to see such great talent wrangled in and left to waste-all because these executives truly think that there is an unlimited supply of stellar talent just waiting at the LN doorstep clamoring to get in.
