Outdated Company with poor senior leadership team

Director of catering sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None, The only reason to work here is to say you worked at a convention center.

Cons

HR is extremely unprofessional. She targets who she doesn't like and picks on you until you are so uncomfortable at work, it is unbearable. Senior leadership is toxic, and are poor managers. They do not believe in a positive work environment. They say they value a timely culture, however they all come and go as they please.

Not for the weak

Executive steward/purchasing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Adrian is a really cool boss and the majority of the people at the Rady Shell location in San Diego are fun to work with. Learned a ton.

Cons

Horrible hours. Inconsistent. 70-90 hours a week during the season. in the off season you're forced to work at the Convention Center and Indian Wells Tennis Garden which both suck so bad. Not worth it unless you make 90,000 or more. I made 72000.

Chaos

Bar staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free concerts, 22% automatic gratuity, management doesn’t care, you can basically do whatever you want

Cons

Company retains 25% of service charge and distributes it unfairly amongst all staff members who work those 2 weeks even if they work 1 slow day but don’t work the 1 slammed busy day. Too many staff members. Servers make more money than bartenders, although they work for a total on like a hour and a half, meanwhile the bartenders have lines of 50 people deep, and the bar backs can’t keep up, but the servers are sitting on their behinds on their phones instead of jumping in to help.
