Pros

Most of the teams are absolutely lovely, helpful and professional. They genuinely care about live music, the safety and enjoyment of fans, and are doing the best they can.

Cons

There are some heads of department that feel very "old school", from a time in business where you got ahead by bringing down others. We're all working towards the same goal, that is unnecessary and unprofessional. The marketing department cannot manage their workload, but the head of that department seems too insecure to delegate, meaning nothing gets done. Lastly, have you seen the HR department? Not sure they exist outside of requesting onboarding forms...

Pros

Free Concert Tickets, nice colleagues

Cons

Zero flexibility for most staff to work from home due to the manager not trusting their staff, unless you are in a management position. Very unsocial and hostile environment, wasn’t introduced to anyone in my team when I started, took 3 months for me to actually meet everyone in my team. Poor pay rates and hard to take leave. One rule for one employee and one for another

Pros

Good perks if you like live music. Good benefits if they were made more accessible and advertised rather than sit on an outdated intranet.

Cons

Literally made me hate live music. The mid pay, negative competitive culture and lack of management skills are justified with "this is the music industry, we're all so lucky to work in it".
