      I worked at Live Nation Entertainment full-time

      Pros

      It's a great company to work for, nit because of the interesting subject matter, but because of the people. There are a ton of talented people and the folks that have been there for a while blend well with the incoming people. Folks that have been there a while know that change and evolution is important.

      Cons

      The different divisions could work better together and the fact that it's a decentralized company is not an excuse. People who work in North American Concerts, at all levels, should support the Sponsorship team better. Live Nation was built to be a fantastic proposition for sponsors and all facets of the company should understand that and I'm not certain that many believe that. I actually tried to put a sponsorship deal together for Live Nation that got submarined by someone within the company. How is that a good thing for the company and stockholders.

      Advice to Management

      Because Live Nation is a decentralized company is not an excuse. Synergy used to be a big buzz word that needs to come back at Live Nation. Conflicting interests do happen at big companies, but they should be minimized as much as possible.

      Cons

      Too many bosses telling you what to do

      No work-life balance

      Advice to Management

      You must focus on creating a more work-life balance and promoting a company culture otherwise you'll have a bunch of zombies working for you with no incentives to give more when they are running on empty as it is.
