Pros

Some workers were great to work with.

Cons

There was favoritism at the gift store I worked at even when those employees did not work at all. Management did not value their employees Hired a lot of employees to only have one person full-time and the rest part-time.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are listening. We are disappointed to hear that your time with us fell short of the high standards we strive to uphold. Favoritism certainly does not align with our values and we would like to hear more about your experience. Please contact our People Services team if you are comfortable sharing more. We also strive to provide all team members with the support they need. Scheduling and the number of part time and full time team members in the gift shop is largely determined by the needs of each store to accommodate guest volume (seasonal fluctuation), as well as available talent seeking either full time or part time positions. We are always on the lookout to add talent to our teams!

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.
