Pros

The new headquarters in Palmetto, FL is huge and state of the art. Rehearsals for shows are held here as well. There are a lot of departments and if you know the right people, you might find opportunity outside of your department. The 24 complimentary show tickets for employees is nice and exposure to the Ringling Brothers, Disney, Marvel, Monster, Supercross and other brands is valuable. There are some pretty decent people running the company including some of the top level executives and the heads of certain departments. The prestige and reputation of the company is admirable. There is a lot going on at Feld right now including the new Marvel Universe LIVE show and it's exciting to be a part of it.

Cons

The salaries in the entertainment industry is not that high. The communication between departments can be improved and become more efficient. People in certain departments have a sense of superiority and look down upon those in other departments. Some departments seem to have micro-management and have stricter environments than others. Some positions/departments have incredibly busy, hectic schedules due to the non-stop nature of the live entertainment industry and the work life balance for some might be affected. What kind of experience you end up having depends on which department you end up in.

Pros

Very casual work attire, 24 free tickets to the shows all over the world, relaxed working enviornment! Overall great set of coworkers. Managers are often flexible in employee time off.

Cons

Non Managemnt Employee pay across the board seems on the low end. Growth at times can be restrictive (2 promotions at best until capped).

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.
