Event Network reviews

-I spent over 10 years with event network and I wouldn't have changed a thing. I started as a sales associate cashier and worked my way up to a store director. -This company offers opportunities to those who work hard for it and it shows. With my time there, I was able to develop three of my sales associates/leads into store directors today. This is something I will always cherish. The company encourages development as its written in their culture. I read some other reviews on here saying otherwise, but it just depends on what type of store director you have. I knew other managers in the company who disregarded development and it reflected on how their team culture was. -Affordable healthcare benefits are hard to come by. Having spent so many years with the company, you begin to forget the cost of healthcare benefits elsewhere. Event network has a great affordable plan as well as ways to reduce costs if you participate in their wellness program. -This retail environment is unlike any others I had worked in. I worked in big-box retail for 5+ years and event network does not compare. This is a different retail demographic. The company cares about the employees and how they are treated. They will listen to concerns and investigate issues as long as your manager is transparent. I’ve seen other store directors hide issues and it reflected in their store culture. Event network has an open-door policy so those team members can communicate issues to any member of management. But it's understanding they may fear retaliation in some way. The company also has an anonymous phone number as well as an anonymous suggestion box so issues could be shared through those means. -I had a wonderful relationship with my VP. She let me run my business and did not micromanage. I learned so much from her as she spent time with me to run through reports, discuss the team, and areas of opportunity in the business. -Visual standards are important to the business. The company spends money to ensure standards are met and held accountable. -I had a wonderful team that I worked with. I miss being able to work with them as we all worked well together. Even the company team at the store support centers in San Diego and Park City were great to work with. I developed so many meaningful relationships with the individuals that you would just not see in any other retail environment.
