World-Cafe-Live

I was an intern at World Cafe' Live.  I felt as though I did not learn what I should of been learning during my time there.  I was there for about three months and over the course of that time I have done nothing but stage set up and tear down, and a little work with lights.  I have had no previous experience with lights.  I had experience with audio and I was not allowed near the board.  I had to sit back and watch.  It was disappointing  because this was what I wanted to do and I was not learning.  I was learning fundamentals but eventually became good at it and it seemed to me like even I should of been able to do something even if was during soundcheck.  This is why we intern, to learn, to experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The employees, everyone was really great. Humble like a family

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having your ideas and work ethnic ignored 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment was mostly positive, fun. Wanted to come to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy alot of running around, dealing with people. But an amazing experience

As long as you’re not a problematic, dramatic, lazy worker then you’re good. I only worked private events but it was a cool job. Would definitely recommend, bosses were cool too and at the end of the night when everything was done it was fun to laugh with my coworkers and pretend that we all were so over everything even though we weren’t. Good people here and a great way to earn extra money or advance your career. Just speak up :-)

WCL has many opportunities for advancement and learning new skills within the company. The staff is like a family, and everyone is fully dedicated to our mission. Many of my coworkers have been here 5-10+ years! I would not want to be working for any other venue in the city. Keep Philly independent!

To run FOH… sinking ship!! AVOID ESPECIALLY IF UR A MINORITY

I had a great experience here! It was a fun and exciting place to work and my coworkers were great. The atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting. Not much room for advancement though. 

My experience working here was 2nd to none. From the eclectic live music and musicians, to the staff, and the guest that make this place go; I learned and grew a lot as both a person and server.

I had to leave after the new management came into the position. They missed payroll multiple times. Disregarded position of previous employees and management.  

Working here was useful as a temporary job to get through school. The management was accommodating to school schedules but has many issues with communication.

Some good people, some people not to trust, kind of like any job, really.  It was more the people that came in that were the biggest annoyance.  If you're a people person, it may be for you.
