      Kind People and very accommodating

      General wearhouse associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Management is kind, considerate and caring. They are very accommodating for part-time employees that are enrolled in college. During busy season, they sometimes provide meals.

      Cons

      Warehouse gets pretty cold in the winter.

      Not the best gig, but a gig nonetheless

      Design associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Some very detailed/complicated sets. It's cool to be a part of creative projects in upscale settings. - I like some of the systems they have in place, like the binders make things easy on-site, as someone who wasn't involved in any of the planning for events. - Some of the regulars are cool people. - If this is your first AV job, you may get sucked in and turned into a lifer. - They bring cases of water bottles to every gig which is cool. Also a meal is often provided.

      Cons

      - Some very detailed/complicated sets. Building some of the designs is a PITA. - Almost cult-like vibe from the managers and core employees. - It's not a company you can use to fill in gaps in your schedule with. You either commit and take all the gigs, or you get left behind. - They will try to book you like 2 months in advance for a half day and if you turn down too much of it they will phase you out. I get it, I'd be fine booking like a full week of day rates with a company months in advance, but just a single day that far ahead can end up losing you a lot of opportunity money. - Annoying use of specialized terminology for almost everything. - Orientation was a waste of time. - Not the best reputation in the bay area from past employees. - Sometimes too many people wearing the "project manager" hat.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The company provides a fair amount of work and it's somewhat regular.

      Cons

      They don't pay for parking. They don't pay for travel time. The pay is low. Some of the managers were rude to the employees.
