Pros

I loved my team and made life long friends getting to visit museums for free

Cons

I worked for them for 10 years at various venues and they refused to promote me. They would always hire from outside or the latest travesty, promote somebody I trained ahead of me. This after helping the AD hold the store together TWICE without a director. And after finally getting FT position they took it away after a year leaving me stranded without medical. Great if all you want is a temp part time gig, but absolutely no career growth potential. Loyalty is punished, not rewarded.

Pros

I love working at EN because there is always something new to expand my knowledge of the business and I’ve found it’s a very supportive environment. I’ve always felt supported and appreciated by my bosses at this company. There are always new challenges to creatively solve. I always leave my store feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Cons

Mostly part time for all team members below AD which can make hiring a challenge

Pros

The locations. The talented hard working in store teams who keep these store running despite this company not because of.

Cons

Event Network is an overly bloated company weighed down by layers of constantly rotating middle management who often lack the knowledge, experience, or authority to effectively support stores. They also just don't care about their employees whatsoever. They turn what could be exceptional jobs in world-class locations into frustrating, exhausting, demoralizing, toxic experiences. The company is chronically disorganized and poorly managed. Communication is inconsistent, expectations constantly change, and support is virtually nonexistent. Working here eventually takes a toll on your mental health, morale, and professional integrity. If you genuinely care about your team, you will find yourself fighting unnecessary battles simply to provide employees with the resources, staffing, and compensation they deserve. Those efforts are routinely blocked by corporate bureaucracy, only to be followed by endless lectures about the company's "culture" and "values." The disconnect is shocking. There is no consistency, accountability, or respect. Decisions are driven entirely by cutting costs, always at the expense of employees. Wages are shockingly low; turnover remains, unsurprisingly, high. There is no end to the "cons" list.
