Encore Global reviews

- Not a stable job Point #1: Work hours are event based whether you are a part-timer or full-timer. You may work 50+ hours one week and then get under 20 hours the following week. In the summer you may go many weeks to months where you get no work. -Not a stable job Point #2: Each property is based off of a contract signed with the venue/hotel. As with other AV companies, there's a chance that you can lose the contract with the venue. The company will transfer you in this instance, but the negative part is there becomes too many employees which translates to little work. - No point in becoming full-time (unless you become salary). There's only one reason I would recommend moving up to full-time: benefits. Other than that, you really aren't guaranteed full time hours each week and aren't given much schedule flexibility. - No reward for being a better technician/experience: Whether you do sets/strikes, have a degree, or run an event, you are paid the same. You can start the job with no audio or visual knowledge or experience and still get paid the same as someone who has done it for a few years. Also, if you run a large event, don't expect to get paid extra.

Hours can be long and can at times be extremely stressful. Work load sometimes includes lifting or pushing heavy audio visual equipment. For hourly employees, seasonal rushes and slow downs require income management.
