Challenging yet exciting entrepreneurial environment - Anonymous employee CMJ Network Employee Review

You get to have inside access to the independent music scene. The festival is a great opportunity for those who thrive under pressure. Perks include free shows and music. As an intern you will be given an opportunity to contribute meaningful work.

Very low salaries with no raises. Resistant to investing in modern technologies. Company is not built to retain long-term employees.

Festival team is amazing. It is incredible what the 7-9 people on festival staff accomplish each year. Everyone is smart, hard working and supportive. It is a very welcoming and fun environment to work in most of the time.

The new CEO is completely inept. Shady business practices, lies, and he is MIA 95% of the time. The pay rate is below market to begin with and he has repeatedly failed to pay salaries on time with people going over 6 months without pay. Staff is provided with little to no (believable) explanation. Much of the staff is also placed in the extremely uncomfortable position of dealing with vendors who have not received payment as well. The festival staff is amazing, it is such an unfortunate waste of talent.
