Pros

It was great working in Wrigley Field and all its glory and grand history. I met some great people and still keep in contact with a few of them!

Cons

The commute was far but that was part of the job.

Pros

For an entry level position this company is great, they have a ton of opportunities and properties where you can either get new experience or compare best practices. The team was always fun to work with and were dedicated to their jobs and making the property succeed.

Cons

Levy likes to think of itself as still being a small family company, but in reality unless you are senior management, it is anything from that. There is a huge corporate structure to navigate and deal with and it really always comes down to the bottom line. Home office will meddle whenever and wherever they can if they think they can squeeze and extra penny out of someone or something. Don't expect any type of work/life balance, once you are salaried, you are theirs and will be worked crazy. I get it that it is part of the industry, but Levy takes it to the next level. If your property is slow, don't expect time off, expect to be shipped off somewhere else to work just as hard and just as long. Hourly team members are often thought of as lazy and incompetent and are often treated as such. Mid-management level employees are always in the wrong no matter what happens, especially in operations. Get employment contract and terms in writing, and if/when leaving, double check benefits or they will cut you off even before you leave the company.

Pros

AMAZING PAY!!!! Unionized. Flexible hours, you can not work a full year and still keep a job. Seniority based.

Cons

Micromanaging human resources. They try to apply rules that other departments are intended to follow to our department, when its not really applicable. I.E.: bar tending, concessions, etc. Like non-slip black shoes... Vending is not a hazardous department, there are no slippery floors or drunken customers we have to cut-off, yet we are tested on these things.
