Alliance "Event Management" - Event Coordinator Alliance Event Management Employee Review

Alliance Event Management has been the best job I've ever had. The environment was energetic, upbeat and everyone was supportive of each other, but the best thing about the business was the owner! When you were down, she lifted you up. When you made a mistake, she was there to help you. If you needed someone to watch your child so that you could work, she did it! If you couldn't afford food, she'd buy you food! If you didn't have money for gas and couldn't get to work, she would give you the money. Without a doubt, she was the best owner anyone could dream of having.

The only cons to this business are the people leaving one star reviews who used to work there. At Alliance Event Management, you had the ability to make as much or as little money as you desired. You gained as much or as little knowledge as you wished. You moved up in the company at the pace you wanted. All of these trash reviews were left by weak minded people who are ignorant and short sighted and couldn't hold themselves accountable for the goals that they set for themselves!

Good if you like working for $9, every weekend, and driving all over East Tennessee. Also good if you like being forced to do work without getting paid in order to be promoted.

From the very beginning everything was a plethora of misleading information and false hopes of earning a decent living. In the interview process they fill you with the idea that you will be an "Executive Manager" or Owner in training which is what the position I applied for online was. They also spit all this false information about how much you will make and the commission scale that makes sense to no one. Only once they reel you in and hire you do you find out that everyone is in training and that no one has been promoted to even Assistant Management since it has been opened let alone Ownership like they preach when you are hired and that you've just been hired into a pyramid scheme with no chance for any success. The "owner" (who is a kid with no business experience or knowledge) likes to play dress up and make everyone dress in "Business Professional" attire to all meetings only to have you stand in a room with no chairs or air conditioning and write on white boards. You also are required to go to meetings or "business dinners" (which are just meeting at Starbucks for 30 minutes to chat about nothing) outside of work without getting paid in order to move up and be promoted. Very unprofessional and unethical company.
