Pluspunten

They will teach you everything you need to know from the ground up. "Cool" opportunities to work in all types of venues with the potential to tour eventually. Many hours to work.

Minpunten

A easy going week looks like working 40 hrs in the warehouse and 24 hrs working shows. However, event days are not eligible for over time, only in warehouse hours are eligible for over time. Warehouse work is hourly and Event work is based on day rate. Which in the industry it's a fairly low day rate. The company doesn't respect your time. Getting time off it typically met with "well this our busiest time of year" (which happens to be every month but December and January). The company has their own best intentions in mind, to a fault, the HR manager is anything but, they have gone through at least 3 HR managers in the past 3 years because they haven't "fit" the company culture, aka they were all too employee focused and appropriate for the work place. There is a distinct lack of boundaries through out the company as a whole, I do think they have gotten better through the years but they are still not up to what the standard should be. As far as growth within the company goes you can only go so far. They are not ones to hire from within. You can get small promotions to a certain point but very rarely any large promotions.

Pluspunten

Brown Note's senior management and company owners are always working to move the company forward and make it a better place for it's employees. They are dedicated to investing in the newest technology and also offer year-round training opportunities for every team member, always encouraging continuing education and professional development. Their time-off policy, pay structure and benefits are generous.

Minpunten

Busy season can affect work-life balance, especially for event staff. This is typically made up for in the off seasons.

Top of the line gear

Minpunten

Where to start? Almost every potential benefit they throw your way is a lie. Work-life balance? Sorry, half the year gets blacked out in January for employees to have any time off. Pay? Seems generous until you actually count your hours worked, and then they have the gall to give you a raise that doesn't even track with increased cost-of-living, if you're even lucky enough to get a raise. Advancement and education? Brown Note University doesn't count because the second things get busy, all of those processes fly out the window, and then management regularly blames the warehouse employees and show techs who are being worked to the bone. You better hope you're already established in your skill set or have higher level techs that are willing to teach and give opportunities, because upper management will pigeon-hole you and claim you're not skilled enough to do anything else. You can have the best gear in the world, but gear doesn't make a production company, people do, and I have rarely seen a company more belligerent to their own employees than this one.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We recognize that the live events industry can be demanding, particularly during peak seasons, and balancing customer commitments with employee time off is an ongoing challenge. We are proud of the investments we make in training, equipment, and employee development, but we also understand that individual experiences may differ. We appreciate your acknowledgment of the managers who have made a positive impact and take concerns regarding communication, leadership, career growth, and employee support seriously. Feedback such as yours helps us continue evaluating our practices and identifying opportunities for improvement. We wish you success in your future endeavors.
