Pros

Pay is good, benefits are great, co-workers are generally excellent people who mostly have a team mentality. This varies depending on your shift and day of the week.

Cons

They seem to be phasing out full time event set up staff in favor of a part time heavy model. Not a lot of good communication between sales, event management and departments that actually run the events (A/V, Set-Up, Concessions, Catering, Tech Services, etc.)

Pros

Government, so you have access to many resources and PERS. Great culture and work life harmony

Cons

Building back after the pandemic has been a struggle since many folks have left the industry. Short staffed internally and externally makes running events a challenge

Pros

Flexible schedule, you work when you want to work. Wide variety between shifts due to different events to work at.

Cons

Hours range from large dry periods to extremely busy. There's barely any hours in the summer, but during busy seasons you might get scheduled for back-to-back 12 hour shifts.
