Pros

The company has a great mission statement, and good values. Most all of the staff I work with either in person or remotely are working toward the same goal, which makes solving problems and taking care of business routine. Everyone is friendly and helpful and that makes even the most challenging days go smoothly. Supportive management that encourages personal and professional growth.

Cons

Like most retail company's they have a high turnover rate, mostly due to seasonal employment. And they have lost many good employees because of lack of hours that were cut with the new healthcare "requirements for part-time" (part time staff not allowed to work over 28 hr p/week and don't receive any benefits). Many of our part time year round staff lost hours over summer where they use to get near full time seasonally, because of this new rule.

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.
