Pros

Traveling is the only good part of this job, you get to see a lot of the United States.

Cons

No overtime pay (your work 60-100 hours a week and only get paid for 40), very mean people, management does not care about the people, only the bottom line. Sexual harassment claims are ignored, management and supervisors have no HR training or any idea how to talk to employees. HR does very little to help the person complaining. Even when you have a doctor's note with pink eye, the stage manager still make you work and will not let you go home.

Pros

If you really enjoy the travel, Feld can offer fantastic opportunities that are once in a lifetime. You will have the opportunity to be part of great and popular shows and have enough stories to tell at cocktail parties till the end of the time.

Cons

If you're looking for money, this is the wrong business. Feld will probably pay you half of what you could earn elsewhere, that being said the opportunity to work for the circus was worth the pay cut. If you're assigned to a show, you can be expected that your job will last as long as you are in your immediate good graces. Hierarchy is holy at Feld Entertainment and any problem will be dismissed if you skip a level of management to deal with a problem. Also, your job is never secure. Regardless of your position or how well you are doing, there will be a budget or managerial decision to remove you without cause. The only good news is that the company will pay to send you and your possessions home. That being said, make sure you have family or friends to fall back on if your number comes up.
