Pros

Since the only day I worked for this company was an orientation day, I'm not sure I can find a pro. I was excited by the idea of working in an event venue part-time--if you like live music, I suppose that is a pro!

Cons

I have not been paid yet for work I did over a month ago. I decided not to work the season because communication was poor; I was told I needed to complete the orientation 3 times after I had already done it. My repeated questions about on-site training were pushed off, even when I explained that I needed some notice so I could be sure to have the time available. I was given 2 day notice as to when my training would be. This job was sold to me by management as being a perfect second job, and they would be very accommodating as a result. This was not true. I was never able to receive my training and my last two emails regarding that and my unpaid hours have gone unanswered. I have decided that I cannot work for such a disorganized company. I've been in the hospitality business for 20 years and this is some of the worst management I have ever experienced.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
