Pros

They give you a paycheck every other week and tend to at least be in cool locations even if the cool locations attract nightmare customers and guests.

Cons

I could write pages. My husband worked there 8 years compared to my 2. He rose up to just under director for their top store when we lived in another state. He was essential to the stores and yet never values. His raises were in yearly increments of about 30 cents IF he preformed exceptionally. Although his team appreciated him, anyone higher than director couldn't care less about individuals. Any complaints about workplace quality were consistently ignored in his 8 years. I swear, with the amount of self defeating idiot decisions the CEOs are constantly making you would think they WANT these stores to fail miserably. They have no clue what they are doing due to having no personal connection or care for any of their stores. Throughout his career with them he was almost never making more than 50 cents above the ever rising minimum wage. In short it's profit over people and they will always put the mere chance at a few more pennies over your needs as their employee.

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.
