Pros

Have the opportunity to run your own business as you are responsible for everything which happens. The hours are reasonable. You can merchandise the store pretty much how you want to. The salary is on point.

Cons

Corporate is very distant. Minimal support unless you speak up. You need to speak up.

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.
