There could be a lot more efficiency and communication here. For example, during some shows there could be approximately a 1-2 hour period after the show started and whenever traffic goes down significantly that the supervisors could give the ok to start shutting down, but they hold off for too long which causes the workers to get caught up in traffic, and it can be a nightmare leaving from the 6th floor of the garage during a big event. The supervisors can also be abrasive and not easy to talk or reach out to. The mandatory trainings are also very painful and not helpful at all, were held every six months or so. There are also certain stands that have very low foot traffic, even in more popular events, and those stands can be painful to work because there is just a lull. Dickies also contracts workers through a third party company and there are times where it seems they are given the higher priority in the stand they are working than the current employees. The proliant system is unreliable and if you signed up for a shift and it is filled, there is no communication saying that, unless you look at proliant which is not an easy site to navigate. Finally, the communication is awful. During orientation I had issues accessing my company email, after multiple emails to the helpdesk and concessions supervisors, I was never able to access it during my 9 months there, and whenever applying I stated that I had not received any necessary licenses for serving food or alcohol, it was not mentioned when I first started working there. and whenever I attended a mandatory training a few months later and realized that I still did not have it, I emailed a higher up and did not receive an email back. All in all, it is a fine place to work but realize it has its issues.
