Pros

-Many of your coworkers will be hard working -If you are willing to completely give up your personal life and holidays you will be able to move up in the company even if you don't have a college degree -You can "network" your way to a promotion, even if you do not deserve or qualify for the job -Ability to travel and work events around the country -Ability to work high profile events like the Superbowl, Grammys, Kentucky derby -A good place to work as an hourly employee, not a management position

Cons

-Many hours you spend at work will be just to "be there" even when your work is completed -Pressure not to take days off. I have known coworkers to work an entire month with maybe 1 or 2 days off -If you value your family and friends, this is not a good company to work for as you will have no time or energy for them -When you travel to work events you will work very long hours and not see anything but the stadium or arena you are working at -You have to do a lot of paperwork for nothing but "internal processes" that does not seem to end -There never seems to be a break in the constant busy schedule -Many of your hourly employees will make way more money than you do because of their tips -Company does not stay up with technology and this will make your job more difficult

Pros

The atmosphere, all upper management is amazing and it’s a company you can grow in and love it while you do it! I’d work here a million times over

Cons

The only con I could put about this job is that unfortunately it’s hard to find people who want to work so it makes everything a little harder for everyone else.

Pros

Customers are typically great! Timberwolves games and concerts can be fun events to work. Shifts are typically 4-5 hours of fast-paced, but manageable. Co-workers can be nice.

Cons

At the Target Center location, you will be misled when you are hired! You will be hired as a bartender, but will never actually work as a bartender. Union and seniority make it difficult to get a regular schedule - you will be cut half the time. When you do actually get a shift, you will be forced to work as a concession stand worker, serving pizza, hot dogs, candy, popcorn, and a lot of little kids! I've worked there for a year and rarely worked behind a bar. Management is extremely unorganized, unprofessional, and there is zero communication or support. If you run into a problem during your shift, you're on your own. The "scheduling coordinator" with zero bartending experience shows favoritism, and the work assignments are unfair. If you speak up, HR and management retaliate. Toxic culture! If you need a sporadic, part-time job where you can make occasional decent money, it's an okay gig. If you can maintain a positive attitude (despite all the negativity), enjoy the customers and events, and provide good service, you can sometimes make good money.
