Pros

I worked at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre. Working at a concert venue is very fun and exciting. Being around people that are having fun and majority of them are happy to be there. The staff is pretty nice also.

Cons

Every once in awhile you will run into a person that doesnt want to listen to you, but then you can call security. Unless you are security :/ Also it gets hot so when the sun is out, bring shades and a bottle of water. Also, you do have those coworkers that act like managers. *rolls eyes* Disclaimer: you cannot be caught watching the concerts

Pros

1. Genuinely fun environment. You're working live shows at a major 16,000-capacity venue, so no two events feel the same. 2. Strong sense of teamwork; the ops crew is small and coordinated, so you actually rely on and trust the people around you. 3. Real, transferable experience: crowd management, security screening, event setup/breakdown, and real-time coordination during incidents. 4. Good exposure to how a venue actually runs, including coordination with partner staff like Legends Global. 5. Flexible seasonal structure worked well for me (if you want event-industry experience without a year-round commitment) and you can talk to management about going to other venues during off-season.

Cons

1. Seasonal and event-driven, so hours are inconsistent and concentrated around the concert season. 2. Outdoor amphitheater work is weather-dependent; shifts happen rain or shine (at my venue: Mann Center), and conditions can sometimes be tough. 3. Physically demanding with long nights, late breakdowns, and a lot of time on your feet, you've gotta really enjoy and appreciate shows. 4. Limited long-term advancement within a seasonal role.
