Management is terrible

Pros

The corporate culture ideals are good in theory. You'll find friendly coworkers and nice people to work with. TicketNetwork is an innovative company. They do have decent benefits now (finally). Health insurance benefits are pretty good, decent amount of PTO and sick time, good 401k.

Cons

Management is terrible. If you have a nice manager at TicketNetwork, consider yourself lucky. Upper management is very arrogant. Some of middle management should not be in middle management. They need proper manager training. If you are a favorite, you will get pay increases even if you don't produce results - this is the reality. My coworker makes over $10,000 more than I do and we do the same job and have the same title. HR is very unorganized and has no idea what is going on. Their weather policy is also pretty terrible. They make call center employees risk their lives to come to work in dangerous conditions (even when the governor has released federal employees). We only make $12 an hour (pretty pathetic, i know), so we can't afford to buy big trucks or SUVs like our COO. Even though the company allows hotel stays for employees, you still have to drive to the hotel, any my car just barely made it there. I was honestly very scared. Also, even if we use OUR Paid Time Off to cover the snow day we miss, it still counts as an unexcused absence against us. How does that even make any sense?

Pros

TicketNetwork has a history of hiring bright young people and expecting them to be a part of creating the company's future, which led to years of success and growth. This makes for a fun place to work where people are able to be challenged and push themselves to try new things. Most managers are people who helped create their departments and were hired from the employees rather than recruited externally. People who are motivated to try new things, work long hours, and continually keep learning do well at the company and are regularly recognized with promotions and new responsibility. Recently, the company has been going through a transformation as it matures into an adult corporate citizen from its entrepreneurial youth. This means more experienced management, consistent expectations, and increased accountability. It also has meant some some increases in compensation, incentive plans, and lots of opportunity for advancement. In general this is an exciting time for the company.

Cons

Unfortunately, when you hire young people without much experience and promote from within, you end up with a lot of inexperienced people who have good intentions. So while the walls of TicketNetwork are lined with awesome people, not all are equally motivated. I believe new changes in management and some restructuring will help to bring some accountability to those not really pulling their weight. Right now the company is experiencing "growing pains" as a lot of changes are implemented by management. I believe the changes will ultimately address some of the inconsistencies and wasted efforts on inconsequential work but in the meantime it can be stressful.
