Pros

New arena, nice coworkers, your there for most of the events, pantry coordinator is a decent job with great pay

Cons

Long hours with the only break during Preshift, low pay for food runners $10, while servers get paid 25hr +tips. No tip policy in place so extremely unfair that runners have to literally worship a server to get a tip... if they're lucky the servers might throw them 10 bucks when the server whose already making 25 hr walks aways with 500-1000 a night in tips. Managment doesnt listen to employees.

Pros

Vibrant sports and entertainment venue, free meals, reasonable pay, the promise of flexible hours

Cons

No work-life balance! Levy will literally work you until there is nothing left. Your co-workers may be nice, but the upper management is not. They only care about getting their bonus and making themselves look good. The environment they create is toxic and un-sustainable. It all comes from the top down. A few thoughts on Levy ratings: Career Opportunities: 2/5 - No opportunities for growth at a small site. You would have to relocate. Management will be happy to heap on more hours and responsibilities however, but will be reluctant to reward you with increased pay or flex time perks. They will even loan you out to other sites during your slow season so you never get a break! Compensation & Benefits: 3/5 They seem good until you factor in your hours. You might as well get two easier full time jobs elsewhere. I am serious! The bonus is a carrot they dangle in front of you that is mostly unattainable. That is, if you're special enough to even qualify. Some Levy managers are more equal than others - even though you may be a manager, you may not be in a bonused position. Work/Life Balance: 1/5 If I could give Levy a zero, I would. Levy is very one-sided when it comes to work/life balance and they will work you until you have nothing left to give to the job, your family, friends or yourself. Then they will require that you work more. Senior Management: 1/5 These people simply do not care. Except for themselves. Culture and Values: 2/5 HR likes to blow their own trumpet and say how great everything is. Don't believe it, because it just isn't true.
