Pros

Working a major cultural venue; employee discount; work badge provided free admission to location's exhibits and other participating museums. Made good friends while there.

Cons

Management and colleagues overall were pleasant; there were some that just would be rude and nasty to others for no reason. Some seemed to yell or discipline first and ask questions later. I got a minor injury while working on the job on something, and the management on duty that day seemed indifferent. My colleagues did help me out though and made sure that I was okay. Scheduling was not bad and most managers comprised with you if there were issues and worked with them. I wish that they could email it to us, but they didn't.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your time with us. While we’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the perks of working at a wonderful venue, we are very sorry to hear that you encountered an unpleasant attitude from a manager. Even though you felt that most of your colleagues and management were great, that should be the norm. All it takes is one negative encounter to leave a sour taste – and we hear you! Rude behavior is never acceptable, and is certainly not part of our core values nor a quality we tolerate or take lightly. If you haven’t already, will you kindly email our People Services team at PeopleServices@eventnetwork.com so that we can learn more about the situation you describe. Thanks again for sharing your experience – we wish you a happy, healthy new year ahead.

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.
