Pros

In theory, great money working festivals. There’s truth to this when you work the event....however....

Cons

However at the event you will be asked to pool all cash tips. Then, they will ask you to count your money. But at the end of the night they just tell you to throw all the money into a bin anyway. They steal a huge portion of your credit card tips, and only pay it to you when you call them incessantly for weeks and even then they will try their hardest not to pay you. Shady company, I’m filing a report with the labor department and I strongly encourage everyone who works any event to count your credit card tips like I did and take screenshots so you have evidence of their wage theft. These people are scum — they justify stealing your tips and exploiting your labor. If you’re going to work for them be vigilant. Count everything. I use a counter app and every tip that I get I add it on the counter. Get evidence and put them through the ringer.

Pros

DLS Ballantyne rocks; Shannon and Nicole are great leaders and very flexible when it comes to scheduling. Money is average, but the environment and energy of the team makes up for it.

Cons

Wish they were busier and had more events

Pros

The job itself was entertaining.

Cons

All upper management in the company have been friends for years so you will never break in with them if you’re coming from outside. If you’re trying to be a manager on the east coast, don’t bother. Your manager will treat you like the scum of the earth then fire you for what they feel is incompetence when they just refuse to teach you anything and want you to fail.
