Pros

For an entry level position this company is great, they have a ton of opportunities and properties where you can either get new experience or compare best practices. The team was always fun to work with and were dedicated to their jobs and making the property succeed.

Cons

Levy likes to think of itself as still being a small family company, but in reality unless you are senior management, it is anything from that. There is a huge corporate structure to navigate and deal with and it really always comes down to the bottom line. Home office will meddle whenever and wherever they can if they think they can squeeze and extra penny out of someone or something. Don't expect any type of work/life balance, once you are salaried, you are theirs and will be worked crazy. I get it that it is part of the industry, but Levy takes it to the next level. If your property is slow, don't expect time off, expect to be shipped off somewhere else to work just as hard and just as long. Hourly team members are often thought of as lazy and incompetent and are often treated as such. Mid-management level employees are always in the wrong no matter what happens, especially in operations. Get employment contract and terms in writing, and if/when leaving, double check benefits or they will cut you off even before you leave the company.

Pros

Customers are typically great! Timberwolves games and concerts can be fun events to work. Shifts are typically 4-5 hours of fast-paced, but manageable. Co-workers can be nice.

Cons

At the Target Center location, you will be misled when you are hired! You will be hired as a bartender, but will never actually work as a bartender. Union and seniority make it difficult to get a regular schedule - you will be cut half the time. When you do actually get a shift, you will be forced to work as a concession stand worker, serving pizza, hot dogs, candy, popcorn, and a lot of little kids! I've worked there for a year and rarely worked behind a bar. Management is extremely unorganized, unprofessional, and there is zero communication or support. If you run into a problem during your shift, you're on your own. The "scheduling coordinator" with zero bartending experience shows favoritism, and the work assignments are unfair. If you speak up, HR and management retaliate. Toxic culture! If you need a sporadic, part-time job where you can make occasional decent money, it's an okay gig. If you can maintain a positive attitude (despite all the negativity), enjoy the customers and events, and provide good service, you can sometimes make good money.
