Set your boundaries and hold your boundaries

Pros

- Due to the nature of the business, it allows you to grow experience in the Event, F&B, and Service industries. - You are allowed to experiment with ideas and actualize it

Cons

- You have to be very independent, this could be pros but I put in cons as that also means you will be left alone with no one to help sometimes - Super lean team as they want to cut costs, but instead of optimizing the spending, they will choose to lay off and delay payments, in the end, exhaust and overstretched their staff. - Your advice might eventually be seen as "being hard to work with" but maybe healthy to help you set your boundaries

Pros

- Encourages experimentation and contribution of ideas - Great team that takes care of each other - Work spaces are accessible and conducive

Cons

Going to start off the review with an unbelievable point, but none of the employees are covered with insurance for workplace safety/liability issues. There was once the the ceiling collapsed at an outlet. The employee onsite that found the ceiling on the floor was lucky it didn't collapse on them. But even if it did, I doubt all he would have gotten by the bosses is a gift hamper and a "get well soon" text. Unethical business practices. The events/space bookings for instance involves fees for movement, or set up and so on and these jobs are usually very labourous. One would think those fees will be given to the ground employee (yes usually there is just one guy doing everything, maybe two guys on a good day) but the company absorbs all those fees. So why put a fee for movement in the first place? Quick cash grab? The CEOs perceive everybody as disposable/replaceable. I shouldn't have to elaborate further, the other reviews on this platform have said everything. But besides the bosses intentionally firing people (or in their words, "asked to leave") the turnover rate overall is insane. People leave as soon as they join. Additionally, people who are new to the company are never being orientated/trained well enough and always thrown to figure things out by themselves on the second day of work. This brings me to my next point. Absolutely POOR ROSTERING CHOICES because it is driven by the bosses' stingy fixation on wanting to "cut costs". There have been multiple times where my colleagues and I would attend an event held at one of the company's spaces and we end up helping out the employees on site because the workload given to the 1/2 people rostered was too much for them to handle. Besides an understaffing issues, I heard from a colleague who is still part of the company that someone was rostered "9am-12pm" and then "6pm-10pm" and they has to clock out in between which I found absolutely nonsensical. When the employee asked about it, they were told to "take a break" in between their two shifts. I shouldn't even have to explain how that is unethical. For majority of the employees, they don't even know what they are employed as. Especially for the newer employees, their job title would be completely different to the things they are told to do or promised they would be doing during the interview.

Fun on the outside, dysfunctional inside

Pros

1. Very open culture: they provide you a testbed for ideas/events allowing you to experience everything and anything. You'll get to experience different job functions and can even request to switch departments if that interests you more. 2. Colleagues are very friendly and are more than happy to help you assimilate all the information you need to perform your work.

Cons

1. Expect to wear MULTIPLE hats (common in start ups), but due to lack of resources, you may end up taking on more responsibilities than the communicated job scope. 2. Transparency is not 100% with the management team: critical business information may not be shared, feedback may not be welcomed, and promises (i.e: bonuses, commissions, salary increments) may not be upheld.
