NRG Media reviews

CHEAP. Will not spend money on needed equipment or resources to create an environment to be the best or for employees to succeed.. Pay is *ridiculously* low unless you work for corporate. A lot of nepotism in Cedar Rapids, and management is totally focused on coddling sales staff while over-exploiting and taking unfair advantage of production and technical staff. Raises are virtually non-existent, and corporate lacks focus by just following the Next Big Trend. Great at issuing mandates without providing employees olutions or resources to meet them.

Management. I haven't dealt with corporate much, but the local management is subpar. I have seen them speak condescendingly & be duplicitous in several instances. They make it known that their focus is primarily on sales. Will only get new equipment if something is broken beyond repair or if they can sell it to someone who would want it. If you make a mistake, no matter how small, within 12 hours you will get an email about it. Management will not take your ideas seriously. For part timers, shifts get scheduled on preferential treatment. Pay is very low and not worth your time. The only way to get a raise is to move positions, which is very hard to do as they primarily hire from outside. It's also common for part timers to be worked as full time, but not allowed to work past a certain amount of hours so as to not have to give benefits or make them full time. Management also makes claims that going on-site gets you paid $40/hr. It does not. You get paid a flat rate for the two hours you are at an event, set-up, break down, and drive time.
