Lincoln Center

Sales calls and client tours for planning events, were the majority of a typical day unless an event was scheduled.  I learned how to use event coordinating and catering software programs I had not used before.  Manager had not coordinated events before working at the Lincoln center, and struggled to distribute events among the coordinators and support staff to ensure they were being executed for success. The hardest part was working in an office with very loud and dramatic employees that constantly complained about management instead of communicating to improve the atmosphere. The lack of professionalism in the office made it was difficult and embarrassing to make sales calls with them in the background.
* The most enjoyable part was coordinating an event with a client that wanted to be creative.

Main supervisor rarely had time to answer question. Discouraged from interacting with staff, and patrons or clients. Budget was bottom line, and shifts were too short to get work done without risking injury. Supervisor would berate employees for not knowing things that were not explained. Supervisor would belittle employees in front of other employees and patrons and cleints. Worst supervisor and team  ever worked for, which was unfortunate, since the rest of the employees were kind and supportive, and it would have been an enjoyable job.

This is strictly a volunteer position.  The people with whom we work/are associate with are great and the management knowledgeable and respectful.  The event atmosphere can be challenging as we must listen to patrons and assist them in whatever way necessary.  There may be 1 to 4 events in an evening which means numbers of over two thousand.  Its been a great, enjoyable opportunity.

A typical day starts with watering the plants in the morning, and a quick look around the shopping center making sure that things are clean and nothing needs attention. If something needs fixing, fix it after the plants are watered. The people are very nice at this company and are all great mentors.

Dealing with the inconsistencies of the administrative team.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is very stressful and stifling.

Daily treatment hands on with troubled youth. I learn different skills daily through this program. Management is very helpful with employyes. workplace culture is versitile. Most enjoyable part of my job is working with the young men helping them to return to the community.

Love working with the children. Supportive staff and supervisor. Students ni families need extra support and guidance. It is helpful to find creative ways of motivating students.

Upper management pays lip service to safety and positive work culture but fails to support either.  They are disrespectful towards and unappreciative of the talented people who make many personal sacrifices to ensure that shows are a success.   Wages are ridiculously low.  

Staff with seniority are feminists and feel entitled to thoughtlessly say things that could hurt someone else.  will make qualified male staff walk on eggshells and favor female staff with most shifts.  Months could go by without setting foot in the property.

Excellent work environment. Working mostly on computers and answering phones. The management is clear and highly supportive. Dealing with customers who are knowledgeable about the arts is a very positive experience.
