Pros

Flexible hours for part time, store director & assistant director at my shop were great and cared about employees, pretty easy job. Depending on store location you might be able to get a promotion. Annual appraisals always went well.

Cons

EN had us work at a pop-up shop outside the main store for a winter event in 20-30 degree weather. Alternatively, worked outside for summer store events at a pop-up when weather was 70-80 degrees outside (literally outside on a fold out table, no A/C, nothing). Depending on location, store inventory sucks.

Annual appraisals are indeed another way we look out for our each other – congratulations on a job well done! We hear you, outdoor events can sometimes pose unavoidable weather circumstances – thank you for bringing it to our attention so that we can accommodate the needs of our team members.

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.
