The culture here has changed negatively.

Pros

At first, the culture of the company was very welcoming and they trained me well so I knew what I had to do on a daily basis. Food is great and on occasion, we are able to eat during a break period. I have been able to see some amazing locations and have seen some beautiful weddings.

Cons

Hours are terrible during the winter season. Although they had promoted me quickly, they barely trained me in regards to setting-up and some supervisors find it hard to believe that I would be unaware of how to set-up certain things. The person who does the scheduling plays favorites and will not schedule you during reasonable hours even if you had let them know that you would be unavailable during those times.

Not a place to stay long time

Pros

You will find nice coworkers willing you to teach you and help you out the way the company does things. They do have flexible hours, and they do not penalize you if you don't accept a shift. Very well organized event supervisors

Cons

No place to grow in the company, there is no mechanism or internal opportunities to fill for opening positions as sales person or event producer. Pretty much the have dead end positions. If you have work under other systems that have work even better and you want to proposed something, never it is heard. Not a good place to bring new ideas No bonuses They just give you 4 hours shifts week in advance not biweekly or month in advance like other places. Not enough hours. They never answer the phone. Most of the time they wont give you a break, bring your own lunch to eat after work In the rare occasion they give you a break, they prefer to toss the leftover food to the garbage instead to give it to the employees.
