Pros
The amount of time you spend at work in a stressful environment means you make close bonds with other non-management staff Very occasionally, you get to go work at enjoyable live events
Cons
I had to undergo therapy to work through the experiences I had while working for SSD Concerts. Management condones, encourages and personally takes the lead on a discriminatory work environment. Most days in work you will be subject to hearing vile, sexual comments from the owner, either about yourself, colleagues or the artists the company works with. Never received a contract, rarely received a payslip and often paid either late or underpaid. Overtime work was expected but you were rarely paid for it, the 'reward' often came in the form of food or alcohol. Complete lack of clarity in the company structure, staff responsibilities and hierarchy. No opportunity to progress at this company, regardless of how hard you work or for how long. No matter how exciting the concept of working here might be from the outside, or how the opportunity to work in live events in the northeast seems 'too good to be true', it is not worth the sacrifice to your mental health. I wouldn't advise anyone to work here, particularly if you are a womxn.
