      Pros

      Get to see live music.

      Cons

      Livenation does not care about its people at all. They will use you up and spit you out if you have any opinion other than those of the top white men in leadership. HR is a joke - they allow toxic and hostile work environments to continue despite multiple complaints from various staff members. HR is not there to help you, they are there to protect the company from you. So many conflicts of interest in this business. Managers hiring family members and significant others with no experience but then give them more money than other people in similar roles. There is zero training so be expected to teach yourself everything while also working 70-100 hours a week regularly. There is no one to help you as every venue is setup different. Everyone that was worth keeping was replaced when a new white man was put in charge. Be ready to work amongst narcissists and a lot of them. Price gauging is the ultimate goal for livenation; how can we squeeze more money out of every guest.

                    Thanks for your comments, agree that technical capability is extremely important and we will be looking for this when hiring certain roles. To balance that we also hire people for their leadership traits and attitude, so a balance of academia and personality aims to create a more inclusive environment.

                      im not sure but I feel embarrassed for randomly messaging a connection in LinkedIn and asked if he can refer me to the job that Im interested in at his company. this is my fist time doing this in my entire career of 17 yrs. based on some post on LI it is not unusual to ask for referral but will help you also get interviewed, i have an initial interview with the HR last Monday and I send a follow up email to her but no reply so I thought of messaging a connection in LI. thoughts?

                      Do recruiters actually look at linked in profiles after a candidate has applied for a job? My resume is the most updated document, not so much my linked in profile. Is it a must to update my profile (with info about what was done in each role) or does a well executed resume suffice?
