Pros

During my time at Levy I worked with mostly very nice people, I felt supported, and I learned a whole new business. For the operations folks at the venues I think they are very satisfied with Levy (despite the hard work required) because it gives them the opportunity to work their way up when they may not otherwise have such opportunities...many have worked there for decades. They give you a discount on the restaurants they own, but I did not enjoy them, so it was not that much of a benefit for me.

Cons

The nature of the business means you always have emergencies and will be consistently overworked. The pay is not enough to justify the amount of work required. Note: I had a role in the corporate office, which is a very different experience than those working at the venues. For your typical office worker who can easily get another job, it's just not worth it. I also found it odd that as a food service company, they did not offer meals to employees on a frequent basis. I have had more free lunches at places where they had to order in or pay the cafeteria to cater...whereas it would barely cost anything for Levy to provide lunch since there is a test kitchen in the office. The location was not convenient to lunch options, so it would have been nice.

Pros

The atmosphere, all upper management is amazing and it’s a company you can grow in and love it while you do it! I’d work here a million times over

Cons

The only con I could put about this job is that unfortunately it’s hard to find people who want to work so it makes everything a little harder for everyone else.

Pros

Customers are typically great! Timberwolves games and concerts can be fun events to work. Shifts are typically 4-5 hours of fast-paced, but manageable. Co-workers can be nice.

Cons

At the Target Center location, you will be misled when you are hired! You will be hired as a bartender, but will never actually work as a bartender. Union and seniority make it difficult to get a regular schedule - you will be cut half the time. When you do actually get a shift, you will be forced to work as a concession stand worker, serving pizza, hot dogs, candy, popcorn, and a lot of little kids! I've worked there for a year and rarely worked behind a bar. Management is extremely unorganized, unprofessional, and there is zero communication or support. If you run into a problem during your shift, you're on your own. The "scheduling coordinator" with zero bartending experience shows favoritism, and the work assignments are unfair. If you speak up, HR and management retaliate. Toxic culture! If you need a sporadic, part-time job where you can make occasional decent money, it's an okay gig. If you can maintain a positive attitude (despite all the negativity), enjoy the customers and events, and provide good service, you can sometimes make good money.
