Markey's Reviews

Non-existent training on equipment you haven't already used. Benefits suck, hours can be rough. Learn how to work with broken gear, or bring your own and charge the company to rent it from you like I did. The main office will mess up your order every time, so don't expect to have the gear you need for a show. Sometimes unsafe working conditions, such as riding in a box truck with someone who worked 13 hours that day (OSHA violation).

- Hourly rates for technicians is ridiculously low compared to the profit margin (what the client is charged for your time). They will pay you $20-$28 an hour for grueling physical labor and charge the client $170-$250 an hour for you. - The company champions the ESOP mentality, but technicians have no voice in workplace conditions or pay negotiations. - Nothing is confidential. The open door policy is bogus. Managment can and absolutley will use what you say in confidence against you. - Advancement is too slow or nonexistent at the technician level. - Women are constantly mistreated and paid less. It's a boy's club. - Hours are terrible. I was asked to work for 14 hours on a show and then dive a truck across the country the following day on 3 hours of sleep. Don't work here if you value work life balance and seeing your family and kids.
