Pros

The "cool job" factor is hard to deny - sports, events, wining and dining. There's a lot of fun to be had, especially at first, and extra especially if you work in a corporate/Home Office role, where a lot of these perks are focused. Also, the hospitality industry tends to attract kind, down-to-earth, warmhearted people. I met a lot of them in my travels to the various locations in the field.

Cons

The basic corporate infrastructure (IT, finance, even HR) features a lot of legacy people and processes held over from at least a generation ago. There seems to be a widespread belief that operating a high-profile sector of a multinational corporation just like a paper-and-pencil family business is viable. The going mythology is that there's no budget to upgrade IT, finance, training, etc., but on the other hand, there does seem to be plenty of money for a lot of frivolous nice-to-haves (again, mostly for the corporate staff). The word "nice" is used heavily among upper management - along with ancillary concepts like "fun" and "family" - and the expectation is that everyone loudly participate in and propagate the message that it's a nice, fun family. That didn't square with my experience - this is actually the most stressed and hopeless I've ever felt in a job - and the cognitive dissonance ultimately took an unsustainable toll on me.

Pros

The atmosphere, all upper management is amazing and it’s a company you can grow in and love it while you do it! I’d work here a million times over

Cons

The only con I could put about this job is that unfortunately it’s hard to find people who want to work so it makes everything a little harder for everyone else.

Pros

Customers are typically great! Timberwolves games and concerts can be fun events to work. Shifts are typically 4-5 hours of fast-paced, but manageable. Co-workers can be nice.

Cons

At the Target Center location, you will be misled when you are hired! You will be hired as a bartender, but will never actually work as a bartender. Union and seniority make it difficult to get a regular schedule - you will be cut half the time. When you do actually get a shift, you will be forced to work as a concession stand worker, serving pizza, hot dogs, candy, popcorn, and a lot of little kids! I've worked there for a year and rarely worked behind a bar. Management is extremely unorganized, unprofessional, and there is zero communication or support. If you run into a problem during your shift, you're on your own. The "scheduling coordinator" with zero bartending experience shows favoritism, and the work assignments are unfair. If you speak up, HR and management retaliate. Toxic culture! If you need a sporadic, part-time job where you can make occasional decent money, it's an okay gig. If you can maintain a positive attitude (despite all the negativity), enjoy the customers and events, and provide good service, you can sometimes make good money.
