Magical Company - Shop Manager Wizard Studios Employee Review

The people at Wizard Studios truly make this place special. The company not only hires individuals with exceptional talent, which helps bring our client's projects to life in amazing ways, but also fosters a positive atmosphere where everyone supports each other's success. I’m constantly learning new skills and expanding my knowledge, which has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. It's a great environment to thrive in!

One downside of the event industry as a whole is the fast pace, with tight deadlines and quick turnarounds. It can be a bit stressful at times, but with the right support system and teammates it's manageable.

- Excellent caliber of people (non-leadership). PMs, most of the sales team and coordinators are usually delightful and very intelligent. - Some off-site events - Some hybrid flexibility depending on your role in the company
