Pros

Having started as a part time sales associate I have had amazing opportunities with Event Network and turned a part time sales associate position into a full-time career as a store director. Over the span of ten years I was a part time seasonal sales associate, a sales lead, an assistant director, and a store director. These promotions were a combination of hard work and having managers and leadership that valued my ideas and opinions and pushed me to get to where I am today. I am now comfortable negotiating contracts with CFOs, working with product development, completing physical inventories, hiring, managing a team, budgeting, creating ecommerce websites, and marketing. I have had amazing opportunities to work with our store transition team to open up new venues and have traveled to help assist other store directors. Event Network has amazing store Culture and continues to push to do better wherever they can.

Cons

In comparison to other retail companies Event Network truly does their best to support their employees and help them succeed. If you work hard for them, you will get that back ten-fold.

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.
