Pros
Festival experience Long hours, multiple days = quick money
Cons
Staffing management are awful, unorganised, rude, incompetent and mardy, usually hungover or on a comedown. Most bar managers who are friendly with the staffing managers are also rude, you basically get treated as if you’re an idiot because you haven’t been working festivals for 10 years like them. Treatment of staff is bad. Lunches are awful, like rations. Breaks are awful. You often get told to go on your only break 30mins into a 8hr shift??? Sometimes you can travel hours to get to a 12hr shift, only to be told to go home 4 hours in because they overbooked the staff. Pay is minimum wage, not fair for the long hours and hard work especially if working stock, whereas managers who do barely anything get loads.
