Pros

Having started as a part time sales associate I have had amazing opportunities with Event Network and turned a part time sales associate position into a full-time career as a store director. Over the span of ten years I was a part time seasonal sales associate, a sales lead, an assistant director, and a store director. These promotions were a combination of hard work and having managers and leadership that valued my ideas and opinions and pushed me to get to where I am today. I am now comfortable negotiating contracts with CFOs, working with product development, completing physical inventories, hiring, managing a team, budgeting, creating ecommerce websites, and marketing. I have had amazing opportunities to work with our store transition team to open up new venues and have traveled to help assist other store directors. Event Network has amazing store Culture and continues to push to do better wherever they can.

Cons

In comparison to other retail companies Event Network truly does their best to support their employees and help them succeed. If you work hard for them, you will get that back ten-fold.

Pros

Working a major cultural venue; employee discount; work badge provided free admission to location's exhibits and other participating museums. Made good friends while there.

Cons

Management and colleagues overall were pleasant; there were some that just would be rude and nasty to others for no reason. Some seemed to yell or discipline first and ask questions later. I got a minor injury while working on the job on something, and the management on duty that day seemed indifferent. My colleagues did help me out though and made sure that I was okay. Scheduling was not bad and most managers comprised with you if there were issues and worked with them. I wish that they could email it to us, but they didn't.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your time with us. While we’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the perks of working at a wonderful venue, we are very sorry to hear that you encountered an unpleasant attitude from a manager. Even though you felt that most of your colleagues and management were great, that should be the norm. All it takes is one negative encounter to leave a sour taste – and we hear you! Rude behavior is never acceptable, and is certainly not part of our core values nor a quality we tolerate or take lightly. If you haven’t already, will you kindly email our People Services team at PeopleServices@eventnetwork.com so that we can learn more about the situation you describe. Thanks again for sharing your experience – we wish you a happy, healthy new year ahead.
