Pros

I truly enjoy working at the San Diego HQ. Everyone is happy to help out, and very knowledgeable in their respective areas. It's a joy to work with talented and bright colleagues. It's a very professional atmosphere, and all the necessary tools to do the job well are supplied. There are many initiatives to foster a great culture -- they take time to celebrate anniversaries, acknowledge people who make a special effort or achieve a personal milestone. There are small celebrations pretty regularly, and opportunities to grow personally, with special guest lecturers on a range of topics. My team is straightforward, honest, fair, and supportive. It's also a privilege to work with amazing partners from respected institutions.

Cons

None. As with any large company, it's impossible to know everyone at first, but eventually you run into each person at the kitchen and build up a rapport! When you start as a new employee, some of their required training videos are on the long side...but I'd rather have them in place than not.

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.
