Pros

-Red Bull has one of the strongest brand identities and marketing strategies, bar none. If you're in marketing, you want this company on your resume. You'll also learn a lot. -Fun events, an emphasis on creativity and breaking the usual rules -Free Red Bull = awesome!

Cons

(Note that these cons are specific to being a student brand manager on a college campus) -The rulebreaking spirit of Red Bull can also get its employees into trouble. They ask their reps to pull off questionable tasks that walk the line between legal and illegal. I almost got the cops called on me a few times for sneaking Red Bull branded stuff into places I shouldn't have. - Support from HQ is limited. Small organizational structure, it's a 'do it yourself, don't screw up' attitude that not everyone enjoys. - Limited room for advancement. Again, small hierarchy means you may get stuck in a grinding job without much of a pay bump to justify the hours. Student brand rep is a great flexible position, but past that, I'm not sure there are many.

Pros

Fast growing environment with future opportunities. Good balance between work and play.

Cons

Very volatile organization structure. Extremely high employee turnover; more so for contractors but also FTE's. Relatively low pay for technical staff considering other organizations in LA. Management not in touch with employee needs.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to be creative and innovative. Awesome company producing the country's coolest events.

Cons

Feels like a lot of promotion decisions are based on political factors rather than merit or qualifications.
