Performer with traveling show

Pros

Toured with a show for several years. Great benefits with travel and the performance aspect of the job. Other employees took the show production seriously and we were like a family. Wonderful and detailed production that I was proud to be involved with.

Cons

People in management roles (tour managers and directors) were unorganized and abused their power. I believe some of the lack of organization stems from the nature of the job itself as we are always on the road and there are a lot of moving parts but management often would play favorites and treat performers like children. A lot of problems also arise from the fact that those in charge when out on the road have no one to answer to and the subordinates cannot physically contact higher management. Some problems also arise from the fact that performers are "at work" 24/7 so any personal mistakes bleed into the work environment which is to be expected from this type of job. Still, no one wants to leave because the performance and travel aspects are too good to pass up.

Communication is Key

Pros

If you're on the right team, it's a great place to work. Our team always had a lot of fun and worked well together. Free tickets to shows. Big names on your resume. Promote from within.

Cons

Pay is horrible. Work/Life balance is horrible. Communication from Directors, VPs, owners needs TONS of improvement. You need to communicate with your staff about changes and not just spring things upon them. Forced a lot of people out of jobs with the move to FL...and the communication about the move was terrible, almost malicious. Certain VPs should not be in the place they are, just because they've been with the company for 15+ years, doesn't mean they "deserve" to be in a management position. If they can't manage, or communicate with people, they shouldn't be in those positions.

Great brands, poor culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

Hard to shake a stick at the brands we work with - Disney, Marvel, Monster Jam, all entertaining and I was glad to work with family shows, promoting an experience rather than a product. Benefits were okay, pay is what you would expect in small town Florida.

Cons

Very top-down culture. Micromanaging is a constant issue. I never did get to do the job I was hired to do. No creativity whatsoever and no advancement even when I'd gone to management on multiple occasions, offering help on larger projects, even after many late nights, weekend work, and on-the-side learning. There was little interest in increasing our skillsets, branching out, or keeping current - and most art is created by an outside agency, leaving nothing but simple entry level production work in-house. All creativity comes from brand and the client. There is no trust in creatives to do creative work, and more than once we've been told by brand that they'd "do the job themselves if they knew Photoshop". Our processes are more difficult than they need to be, and rely on old job bags and paper presentations, even when dealing with web work. There needs to be some serious restructuring.
