Pros

Working on weekends throughout the night and paying for gas and tolls was definitely a pro.

Cons

You get paid $100 pre tax a night to drive from your house to Cranford, NJ. Load a van or truck with a lot of heavy equipment. Then drive to the wedding venue. Setup equipment. Leave the venue. Come back in 5-6 hours. Breakdown equipment and load in truck. Follow the truck with your car back to Cranford, NJ. Unload the equipment back to it’s proper place and then have a cigarette. At this point you worked from 11am and it’s now 4am the following day. Yes! You earned your $100 for your time and gas!

POSH Entertainment Response
5y
Dear Former Employee, Thank you for sharing your honest and truthful review of your experience with POSH DJs. While you explained the sub roadie level in great detail, you failed to mention that sub roadies typically get promoted to roadie level in about 1-2 months. These promotions include more pay and use of POSH vehicles during work hours. The sub roadie position was put in place to continue the screening process from the initial job interview and for us to gain a better understanding of a team member’s work ethic. Ideally, I do not want anyone to remain as a sub roadie with us but rather move up the ranks as quickly as possible by demonstrating professionalism, reliability, loyalty and communication. Further opportunities include DJ'ing, Sales, Marketing, Operations and Management. I want to see all of our passionate team members flourish and succeed at POSH whether they see DJ'ing as a career or simply want to gain valuable work experience. I'm sorry it didn’t work out. I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors and career path. Also, for your information, all our u-haul rentals go through our business account set up with u-haul and under our company name. U-haul simply requires drivers to show a valid driver's license before handing over the keys for insurance purposes. Sincerely, Michael Bedkowski Jr. Owner

Pros

Fun environment Generally pleasant coworkers Possibility of high tip Free meals when in venue Gas & toll reimbursement (sometimes lol) Flexible schedule (kind of) Fast promotion Parties are fun! Free, tailored suit upon promotion Listing positions' pays here: Sub roadie- 125/gig Photobooth attendant- 180/gig Head roadie- 275/gig

Cons

Limited pay Long hours (generally 10+ hour shifts) Must occasionally use your personal Some employees are insufferable. Frequency of work varies Work on Friday & weekends Lots of physical labor Starting position sucks!!! Starting position (sub roadie) is viewed as replaceable. Some roadies may not treat you as respectfully as they should. Truly, it is NOT worth it to work here unless you plan on staying long enough to be promoted (5-10 ish gigs).

Pros

- I had the opportunity to meet and work with many great people during my time at POSH DJs. - The work environment was often fun, energetic, and fast-paced. - I learned a great deal about A/V production, event operations, lighting, and special effects. - It's a solid entry point for individuals interested in exploring careers in DJing, event production, or the A/V industry.

Cons

- Compensation could be more competitive, especially for non-DJ roles. - Recognition and advancement opportunities often seem focused primarily on those pursuing the DJ career path. - The company places a strong emphasis on moving employees into DJ positions, which may not align with everyone's career goals. - Employees who are interested in supporting roles rather than becoming DJs may feel that their contributions are less valued compared to those on the DJ track.
