Pros

The job itself was fun. I love serving people and helping make a party great. You also get to take home food sometimes.

Cons

Megan would change my schedule without telling me, but the real problem was the paycheck. I needed my paycheck mailed, which she agreed to. The entire time I worked there, I received one paycheck on time. I'd have to wait a week then message her. She would always say the check was mailed, and every time, surprise! I receive the check two days after I called. It was always post marked for the day I called. She'd even send pictures of hand- written "notes" on envelopes claiming she mailed it and it was returned as undeliverable. (Yes, I saved those texts.) I notice that none of the "undeliverable" envelopes had post-marks on them. I finally got direct deposit but she fired me for complaining about not receiving paychecks on time. Surprise! The last paycheck was late, and wasn't direct deposit. I had to call her again and demand a check be mailed. My suggestion? If you want to work there, do direct deposit and take screenshots of your schedule.

Pros

Hands-on, in-person training on how to be an effective food server at formal banquets (corporate holiday parties, weddings, celebrations of life, etc.) - what's expected, what to do and not to do, how to properly mount and carry an oval tray full of entrees or dishes, which side to clear from and which side to place food from, how to set the table. I work directly for a catering company now instead of as a temp, and we mainly hire Instawork temps for huge parties: It's really a crap shoot as to whether or not they'll know what to do, or how to dress and act appropriately, because there's little-to-no training. Companies like Echo do a lot better job at preparing their employees for the industry.

Cons

No real opportunity for advancement within the company, but Echo's clients end up hiring the best temps for direct employment.

Pros

The company has a nice starting wage and allows the flexibility that I need in a 2nd job(I sign up for the shifts that I want to work). Unlike other companies that give you a set shift. This is extremely helpful to me. All I need to do is select the shifts that I want to work and then do my job to the best of my abilities. The company provides initial training and gives me the general knowledge on what to expect when working for different companies/venues. Since I can pick my shifts it gives me the opportunity to work at different areas and types of events. It makes every shift a little different and more enjoyable. The management of the company is wonderful. They have always been responsive and do what they can to answer any questions or concerns that I might have. I know this can be difficult since they might need to get answers from other sources.

Cons

I don't have any Cons at this time. This company is exactly what I need as a 2nd job.
