Pros

Currently can not find a pro in working for a company that does so little to put the safety of their employees first.

Cons

In light of the ongoing pandemic working for EN has proven how little they care about their employees safety and well being. At the location I am at the establishment is at a 25% capacity however in the small and narrow gift shop on the weekends the 5000 + guest we get on saturday and sunday seem to all cram into the shop at once. The museum security does nothing to try and limit the amount of people in the shop at once and an entirely exposed area near the cash wrap usually means people are invading personal space , shoving money into your face and talking directly at you. Voicing your concern to management or the joke that is HR goes no where. You are reprimanded with having fewer hours the following week. The safety measures are simply not in place. And coming to work feels like a death sentence. We are told to walk the shop floor and engage with guest when in reality it's the very last thing we should be doing. We are touching product all day that has been touched by thousands of other hands. And on most weekends we barely have enough to personal cover shift breaks and replenish.

Thank you for voicing your concern. Your health and safety are absolutely the top priority and we take this matter very seriously. All Store Directors and Store VPs have been notified in order to remedy this matter as fast as possible and ensure that every store and team member has the support they need. Our stores follow every safety protocol – from a mandatory mask policy and strict guest capacity, to social distance practices and rigorous cleaning schedule. Plexiglass barriers are installed at each cash wrap and PPE supplies such as masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and surface sanitizer are provided by Event Network and available to all store teams. We adhere to these policies and safety practices even on the busiest days and understand that more can be done in the areas you describe. We’re always listening. Back up is on the way. Thank you.

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.
