Pros

Access to local events / nice office space

Cons

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this company. First off, the pay is insulting. Far below industry average, especially for the amount of hours worked. It's clear they expect you to do the work of 3 people but won’t pay you a dime more. There’s no room for growth or advancement. The managers here are downright catty. They’ll talk about employees behind their backs and create a culture of fear and mistrust. It’s a constant competition of who can one-up the other, with no real concern for team dynamics or personal growth. You’re left to fend for yourself while they sit in their little gossip circles, making you feel isolated and unimportant. If you're someone who thrives on positivity, you won’t find that here. Instead, you'll be pushed into your own little corner, trying to stay out of the crossfire and avoid being the next target of criticism or gossip. It’s draining. They don’t care about your well-being, just about making themselves look good. If you want to work in an environment where you’re underappreciated and constantly feel like you’re walking on eggshells, this is the place for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and steer clear. This place is a toxic nightmare.

We are genuinely surprised and disheartened to read this review, and we question whether it reflects a real experience at our company. If it does, we would truly appreciate the opportunity to sit down privately and understand exactly what occurred. We do not—and will never—tolerate toxicity, gossip, or mistreatment in our workplace. At Birch, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of respect, collaboration, kindness, transparency, and professional growth. Our leadership takes pride in creating a positive, team-driven environment and in recognizing the hard work and dedication of our staff. We celebrate achievements, promote from within, and maintain strong relationships with many former team members who continue to work with us on a freelance or project basis. When it comes to compensation, we strive to offer competitive salaries and benefits that fairly reflect the skills, dedication, and contributions of our team.. We are also transparent about the nature of the work—this is a fast-paced industry that requires passion, commitment, and flexibility, but for the right person, it’s incredibly rewarding. Any potential candidate is welcome to come in and speak with any and every team member and ask about culture, work environment, team camaraderie, work hours and demands, etc. We take all feedback seriously, even anonymous reviews, but when a comment contradicts our core values and daily practices, we feel it’s important to speak up. If the author of this review is willing, we would welcome the chance to have a direct and respectful conversation. We are always open to listening and growing.

Pros

Creates luxury events that offer valuable learning opportunities

Cons

Working at Birch Event Design has been one of the most negative professional experiences of my career. The company does not care about its staff at all. I have personally witnessed on many occasions employees raising serious grievances including myself and upper management either ignoring them completely or brushing them off without resolution. There is little to no HR infrastructure in place leaving staff without any support or resources to navigate workplace challenges. The company has a long track record of disregarding workplace laws and basic employee rights. Issues of health, safety, and fair treatment are routinely overlooked. Employee wellbeing is never prioritized and burnout is common because of unrealistic demands, lack of support, and poor leadership. The founder Josh appears focused only on profits and prestige. While the company grows it does so by exploiting staff and showing no moral compass. There is no transparency, no accountability, and no genuine care for the people who make the company’s success possible. The culture is toxic, turnover is extremely high, and many talented people leave disillusioned and burned out. There are no real opportunities for growth, mentorship, or development. Instead employees are treated as replaceable with little recognition for their contributions. Communication is poor, favoritism is rampant, and decisions are made without regard to the impact on staff. Overall Birch Event Design is not a place where employees can thrive. It is a company that takes far more than it gives and I would not recommend it to anyone who values a respectful, lawful, or supportive work environment.
