Toxic work environment, severe lack of appreciation from bosses. - Assistant Designer DNM Events Employee Review

For many years my dream was to be a Certified Floral Designer AND work for an event company. And now, after many years in the Corporate world, I am doing what I love. My schedule is such that I am notified of events and I have the opportunity to see if it fits into my schedule. I have never felt pressured to work on a job or event. I have been with them for over a year now and I have learned so much. I love getting to create and design and then go onsite to see it all put together. Anything your imagination can dream up, they can do it. Most everything is done in house and is amazing. The staff are absolutely wonderful people and get along well. When there is a job to be done and you are in a time crunch, everyone will pitch in and do whatever is needed to get the job done. I can honestly say, I have never worked with such a hard working group of people and it is really nice how everyone works together so well. The creativity that flows here is nothing more than amazing.

Christmas can be somewhat hectic and tiring and at times felt a little un-organized. Management is taking big steps to rectify those issues.

There is always something different to do. It's a laid back enviorment overall, but when it comes time to work, it's time to work! There is a lot to do, and so many creative things to learn. You get to work at a lot of fun places, and be apart of creating some great designs. The more you show that you can do the more interesting tasks they will give you and allow you to be more apart of the creative process.

You have to put in weekends at least 2 times a month. They will work with you if you need time off when it is in good reason. It is hard work when it come to putting up large sets and making sure they are safe. There is a design crew and a set crew and they both do different things. The set crew, which I was on, requires some heavy lifting, late night loads of trucks, and getting up large sets. A lot of people think it's only setting flowers and lighting candles but their parties are way more than that, and that will sometimes make people upset. There are no health benefits as they are a small company, they compare themselves to a mom and pop. It's been mentioned that they were looking into it, but when I was there it was not an option.
