    What’s it like working at Cirque Du Soleil?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Cirque Du Soleil appreciate the friendly and enjoyable work environment, as well as the unique opportunities to travel, meet new people, and gain exposure to diverse roles and creative atmospheres. They value working with amazing and inspiring people who share a passion for the company and its shows, and find the experience of working for Cirque Du Soleil to be exciting and memorable, including the ability to watch the shows regularly.

    However, some potential challenges include physically taxing roles that require standing for long periods or working during rush periods, as well as the financial burden of travel and accommodation costs for employees who follow the circus on tour. Additionally, the nature of the work can be unpredictable, with employees needing to adapt to changing schedules, rosters, and unexpected situations during shows. As with any workplace, there can also be interpersonal challenges when working with a diverse group of people, although these are generally outweighed by the positive aspects of the job.

    The best touring company in the world!
    The good thingsWorking for CDS is a wonderful opportunity for those passionate about this company. I was lucky enough to be selected as a cirquador, which means I get to follow the circus around on their Australian leg of the tour. It's just like a working holiday. The hours are manageable, the people are incredibly fun to work with, and there's plenty of down time to explore the city you're in, or go on a little road trip. I made friends for life, and it's really catapulted my career in live events ever since. I loved it so much, I do every tour they have here.
    The challengesIf you do decide to follow the circus, it's out of your own pocket. Which I can understand from a business perspective. But it's worth mentioning that they only secure your employment, not travel, accommodation or expenses. So it can get a little expensive.

    The good thingsWorking with amazing people every shift and meeting new people from around that world that all shared the same passion for the company and show.
    The challengesYou can’t always get along with everyone you work with but that’s part of every job, and overall it definitely did not outweigh the amazing experience.
