Pros

- Compensation - Extremely influential company that is a leader in innovation in the industry. - Casual work environment - Ability to move within the company to new positions to advance your career

Cons

- Not enough direction from upper management. Many decisions are made without giving the "why" behind what you are being told to do. Though your manager might tell you as much as they know, they often do not know the big picture so they can not share that information. - Do now, think later mentality. Many projects start and are stopped once someone thinks them through. Or, a project is completed entirely and then reversed the next day. You hear a lot of "just do it" and spend a lot of time retracing your steps to undo something you just did. - The higher ups have little to no firm idea of what it takes to get the job done. Many times you are asked to do things in unreasonable time frames.

Pros

1. Genuinely fun environment. You're working live shows at a major 16,000-capacity venue, so no two events feel the same. 2. Strong sense of teamwork; the ops crew is small and coordinated, so you actually rely on and trust the people around you. 3. Real, transferable experience: crowd management, security screening, event setup/breakdown, and real-time coordination during incidents. 4. Good exposure to how a venue actually runs, including coordination with partner staff like Legends Global. 5. Flexible seasonal structure worked well for me (if you want event-industry experience without a year-round commitment) and you can talk to management about going to other venues during off-season.

Cons

1. Seasonal and event-driven, so hours are inconsistent and concentrated around the concert season. 2. Outdoor amphitheater work is weather-dependent; shifts happen rain or shine (at my venue: Mann Center), and conditions can sometimes be tough. 3. Physically demanding with long nights, late breakdowns, and a lot of time on your feet, you've gotta really enjoy and appreciate shows. 4. Limited long-term advancement within a seasonal role.
