Vantaggi
It’s flexible. Good venues(Hollywood palladium, Wiltern). You’ll see great shows while working, depending on which bar you’re assigned to. Some managers/co-workers were awesome. You’ll make decent $$ for what it is.
Svantaggi
Racism. I’m Black, and once, a manager called me “blackie” to my face(zero repercussions). There was a fellow bartender that used to wear *a confederate flag t-shirt* to work(zero repercussions). Managers would steal tips, and there was a lot of drug use/clique-ish behavior(the in-crowd got more shifts, etc). Reporting any of this to HR(LOL) meant YOUR position was at-risk. Additionally, they would weaponize their positions to give a bad reference when former employees like myself would seek bartending work elsewhere. These are terrible people. *note to live nation* Your association with DLS at your venues hurts your brand. Please reconsider doing business with them.
