Operations Manager

Pros

I can sum up this experience in two words: summer camp. I started this job as a seasonal employee and moved up after graduation to a Venue Operations Manager. You meet a diverse group of people. If you take initiative and work more than one season, you have room to grow and experience how to run operations in unique settings. You can learn a lot about business and operations if you can adapt to change easily and work well with a team.

Cons

There is only a certain amount of growth. I left my job for reasons outside the company, but if I wanted to move up I would probably have to move to another city which is something I wasn't considering for this job. More importantly, there needs to be a more frequent form of appreciation for the employees. I don't mean the Jamba Juice perks during important weekends, or the employee party. I mean in regards to the employees who are there for more than a season. Employee reviews would be beneficial and overall transparency would help the employees trust the intentions at HQ.

Pros

You get to be outside in the summer and hang around other creative students. Being at navy pier can be nice after a shift.

Cons

You get to be outside in the summer (it was a really hot year). Low pay, people are cranky because they don't want their picture taken.

Pros

free or discounted venue entry

Cons

EVERYTHING! Seriously, everything is terrible. Only giving one star because no stars isn't an option. Employees stab each other in the back and throw each other under the bus constantly, can't be trusted, management turns a blind eye, plays favorites. Poor pay with even worse benefits. unorganized, venues staffed poorly
