Pros

- Amazing benefit package. Great insurance, perks like rental car discounts, student loan assistance program, and, of course, free concert tickets - Beverly Hills office has a full open coffee/alcohol bar for all staff - Dog-friendly office - Opportunities to transfer to/work in different offices around the country - Regular Q&As from industry leaders that all employees can attend - Occasional live performances in the lobby/bar - VERY casual dress code

Cons

- Extremely tight turnarounds and heavy workloads are the norm - After-hours, early morning, and weekend work are constant and expected, especially during busy months (which is most months). Not unheard of to have a vacation interrupted due to a new tour - The company tries to offer things like meditation sessions, but you can't ever attend them because you have too many deadlines - Layoffs are not uncommon. Company cares about shareholders above all else. Have to keep your resume updated just in case. - Little movement amongst upper-management means little innovation and change. Still a very old-school company in many ways

Thanks for your candid feedback. As you’ve described, we definitely have a work hard, play hard culture and we try to off-set those busy months with some of the perks you mentioned. It’s the nature of the business to have shows at all hours of the day, since we’re global and some roles won’t just be 9-5. That said, we want our people to feel like they’re working toward the right balance. If you are feeling overwhelmed with your workload, I encourage you to reach out to your manager to help you prioritize and work together to create more balance. We’re always looking for ways to improve so if you have specific suggestions or ideas, please share them.

Very flexible and the team is great to work with.

Cons

None, but work is limited to the amount of shows there are which is fine.

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.
