NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW

In Event Oporations, being a standard team member for minimum wage is the best way to go. Lead and Assistant isn't worth the extra dollar or two for the amount of "figure it out youself" you have to do. Raises don't exist. People in the offices upstairs have been better recently but are generally rude and condescending to the crew. Event staff Management doesn't communicate are very uninvolved with their crews day to day besides giving daily tasks (that's where the "figure it out yourself" comes in). Many ignorant, racially charged coments can be made (referring to a racoon as coon). The crew in ops is fun and support each other due to lack of trust in management. For a non profit, it's pretty corporate. Overall opinion of national western is straight, white, and conservative.

A lot of people interaction, and had to be personable and respectful even if the customers weren't. It was a fast pace environment and everyone needs to be very observant. My manager was awesome and he was very professional. I had co-workers that I got along with and some I didn't but I stayed professional and still respected them. The most enjoyable part was interacting with people, and knowing I was making them smile and helping them and overall making their experience at the NWSS more enjoyable.

The work environment is often times hostile and my superiors are rarely helpful in answering questions and helping employees learn and succeed. There is clear favoritism to certain employees that have personal relationships with important people like HR. Employees are often times overworked and are incredibly underpaid.

Enforce restrictions to people that belonged in certain areas (ie badges).  Crowd control, constant awareness of surroundings and as to what was happening, applying rules and regulations (uniforms, alcohol, etc), distributing daily event sheets, greeting everyone with enthusiasm.

Selling general admission and event tickets was my primary role.  I learned about livestock.  The management was very supportive because of the intense work environment.
