Thank you for being part of our EN family for 4 years, and for sharing your feedback with us. As Store Director, we know that your hard work is reflected in the great floor teams, happy partnerships and happy guests! Thank you for all that you do! We hear you, healthcare costs from providers have increased across the nation. We are proud that Event Network was able to minimize the rate increase to maintain quality benefits packages at a very competitive rate – in fact well below the average cost. Despite the unavoidable increase that we were able to reduce drastically, our benefits package is still among the most competitive and robust in the industry. Event Network was also able to cover a 100% of our team members’ and their family’s medical, dental and vision premiums while their store operations were affected by COVID-19. Event Network salaries are researched to ensure they are competitive and match industry and market conditions. Annual appraisals are in place and are meant to reward awesome performance! We have an action plan in place to address mobility throughout the company, and are actively looking at each role to ensure a clear path for advancement and personal development as well. If you have any questions about the benefits available to you, or the appraisal process, please email our People Services team at peopleservices@eventnetwork.com

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.
