Pros

Worked with some great people Loved working in live events Helping others enjoy live events

Cons

I worked for LN for 8 years. I started as a seasonal employee in a small market. I worked hard and was promoted to a seasonal full time management position. This role was needed about 9 months a year. For some reason, LN was unwilling to make me a full time benefited employee. They could have found projects for me to work on in late October, November, and early December. After years of working on a "Salary" during the season and not being paid for my actual hours worked, I had to leave. There were some weeks, I'd work 100+ hours, but since I was being paid a "Salary", I only was paid for the straight 40 hours. I did this for years, because I figured LN would eventually make me whole. Well, after the 2015 season, I said goodbye to LN and found a permanent gig that far exceeds what I was doing. I love to see the 3 jobs that I was doing for LN are all on their website and unfilled. That's right, they are now hiring 3 different people to do what I was doing. GOOD LUCK!

Pros

1. Genuinely fun environment. You're working live shows at a major 16,000-capacity venue, so no two events feel the same. 2. Strong sense of teamwork; the ops crew is small and coordinated, so you actually rely on and trust the people around you. 3. Real, transferable experience: crowd management, security screening, event setup/breakdown, and real-time coordination during incidents. 4. Good exposure to how a venue actually runs, including coordination with partner staff like Legends Global. 5. Flexible seasonal structure worked well for me (if you want event-industry experience without a year-round commitment) and you can talk to management about going to other venues during off-season.

Cons

1. Seasonal and event-driven, so hours are inconsistent and concentrated around the concert season. 2. Outdoor amphitheater work is weather-dependent; shifts happen rain or shine (at my venue: Mann Center), and conditions can sometimes be tough. 3. Physically demanding with long nights, late breakdowns, and a lot of time on your feet, you've gotta really enjoy and appreciate shows. 4. Limited long-term advancement within a seasonal role.
