Pros

- VERY recognizable brand - Comped tickets to some sports games and dress rehearsals to company owned/backed productions (Christmas Spectacular, etc...) - Ability to buy full priced tickets on sold out concerts - Good enthusiastic coworkers, with a wide variety of interests, ages, and backgrounds - Variety of business properties and brands (Ability to work with venues, vendors, sports, etc...) - Great place to gain experience and learn if you are an intern or very green.

Cons

- Has little growth opportunities for those that are more mature (experience-wise) - Everyone and their mother will ask you to get them tickets - No comps on concert tickets for regular employees - Compensation and benefits are lower than industry standard - Very little upward mobility - Very limited schedule with late hours if you work with the teams during the season - No career development - Conservative thinking and management

Pros

Free rangers and Knicks tickets (amount depends on your job grade).

Cons

HR Leadership is toxic. No communication Roles went from fully remote, to hybrid, to fully in office. They renovated all of the floors so you have a fancy rooftop and “hub” cafeteria where the food SUCKS. The renovation was meant for a hybrid environment and when the forced employees back in office, many had to resign because there was not enough seating. Also, why were you hiring people fully remote from other states when you knew you were putting a RTO mandate in place weeks later? You get 1 remote day per week if you work in a good department. Otherwise, you can only work from home if you have a good enough excuse. And make sure it’s not on the same day every week! They bring in new leadership every year which comes with more layoffs for the people below them. In my few years there I’ve experienced well over a handful of reorganizations. They don’t know what they’re doing. They get rid of people who truly make a difference and will repost their position at a higher title and salary instead of promoting from within Their processes are outdated and manual. For being the world’s most famous arena you’d think they’d invest in their employees and technology systems. But they’d rather spend their money on facial recognition?? Management is unresponsive and the culture is horrible. Employee morale is at an all time low but you’re expected to want to be there because it’s MSG and who wouldn’t want to be, right?? Wrong. There’s much more to say but I’m sure you can find other reviews here with more information.
