Pros: flex-hours / compressed work week
Worked in a great environment with a fantastic team. Was a laid-back and casual atmosphere, nonetheless, we all took our jobs very seriously while managing more than 6 traveling shows around the world.

Unforgettable experience at Cirque du Soleil
Project Coordinator (Current Employee), Montréal, QC – January 18, 2013
I have been working for Cirque as a project coordinator for over a year. I must admit this was my greatest professional experience where I combined my passion for planning/coordinating with the most stimulating environment. Implementing Concur travel& expense system and coordinating (and leading) other financial projects, not only made me grow as a – more... professional, but also made me realize that without my passion for cirque, the results would not be the same. – less

Exciting and fun workplace at the circus
VIP Hostess (Former Employee), Toronto, ON – January 11, 2013
Pros: free food, great people, great show
Cons: sore feet at the end of the day
A typical day at work required preparing leaving home early. By the time I get to work I would meet up with my coworkers along the way. we would meet our supervisor and debrief before the shift started. During the shift we would prepare merchandise, clean and review the specifics about the different clients that would be in each section. As the tent – more... opens all guests would be greated with a smile and given and lanyard. We would answer questions about the tent and circus and make sure each participant was happy.

I learned a lot about professionalism and timing. I always had to have a smile on my face even if my day was not going so well. In the end it was great though. I met alot of great people and I am still friends with a few of my co-wokers.

The hardest part about my job was dealing with my shoes. They weren't the best shoes but at the time I couldn't afford new ones, but I made the best of it.

The best part of the show was meeting new people and seeing the show. – less

Fast paced but fun.
VIP Host (Former Employee), Calgary, AB – October 6, 2012
Pros: getting to meet & talk to tons of people, from all over the world. good hours & getting paid weekly. gaining experience with hospitality work.
Cons: that cirque only stays in calgary for a month, every one or two years.
The 'Tapis Rouge' tent is the 'VIP' tent at Cirque Du Soleil; people pay allot of extra money just to experience it. There's five star food & five star service. But we only had a certain amount of time to get everything ready in between shows & breaks so it was definitely one of the most fast paced environments I've ever worked in. My managers were – more... great, they knew exactly what to do to make everything perfect even with the little amount of time they had to put it all together. But all in all it was an awesome experience. – less

Good job, fun and comfortable work environment. Not much possibility for advancement since they mostly hire temps.

Cirque Du Soleil me ajudou muito em questão de organização,responsabilidade,horários,trabalho em equipe.
Supervisora (Former Employee), São Paulo, SP – May 15, 2013
Pros: quando trabalhei no cirque tive tudo pago.
Cons: nao tive contras
Trabalhar no Cirque Du Soleil, foi uma aprendizado.
Aprendi a trabalhar em equipes grandes, me organizar com pagamentos e compras, contratação de funcionários.
Viajei com o Cirque pelo Brasil.
Uma coisa difícil era o fato de ter que trabalhar de preto nos dias mais quentes, mas era uniforme (obrigatório).
Já o mais legal era as cidades que conheci,os – more... amigos que fiz, as culturas,comidas típicas de cada lugar,isso foi super importante no meu trabalho aprendi muito. – less

Bonne compagnie
TECHNICIENNE ADMINISTRATIVE (Former Employee), Montréal – April 9, 2013
Pros: billet de spectacle gratuit
Cons: difficulté d'avancement
Compagnie offrant beaucoup d'avantage tant sociaux que personnelle. On doit toujours se dépasser et bien gérer son stress. Le changement est toujours de circonstance, car rien n'est coulé dans le béton. Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'opportunité d'avancement au sein de l'entreprise dans le même secteur.

Recepcionista (Former Employee), Salvador, BA – July 18, 2012
Pros: experiência de fazer parte do cirque
Cons: horário da saída do servíço
ambiente de trabalho excepcional, aprendi, peculiaridades de culturas diferentes, meus superiores eram ótimos de se lidar, os colegas também fiz amizades incríveis, o mais difícil foi o horário de trabalho, mais o mais agradável era que tudo ao mesmo tempo era divertido e fascinante.
