Pros

Easy job, but that’s about it.

Cons

The company only pays for about two-thirds of the time you spend working for them, and hosts are expected to take on costs of supplies. The company says they’re flexible with hosts taking time off but actually punish hosts for this. They threatened to slander me to other employers when I left the company.

It is true that this is an easy job. We believe hosting shows should be both fun and easy for the right type of person. Our hiring process is set up to find these one-of-a-kind personalities, and we have an awesome team full of people who live up to that standard. The company pays for all supplies and equipment, aside from either a laptop or a tablet. This means trivia answer sheets, Music Bingo rounds, karaoke software, speakers, cords, microphones, lights, tablecloths, mixers, stands, monitors, etc. All of this is paid for and supplied by the company and held by the host during their employment. Top Shelf would never slander an employee publicly. That’s not in line with the character of the people who run the company. Nearly everyone who has ever worked for us could attest to this. Also, how could anyone slander an employee to future employers when no one knows who those employers will be? If anyone ever needs to take time off, we have a standard system in which they request time off through the scheduling app a week or more in advance. It is always approved. This happens every day without issue. The only time there is a problem is when someone calls out last minute for a shift. Not showing up or canceling day-of is considered a resignation. We have clients who expect us to be 100% reliable, and they have venues full of customers expecting us to show up to host. Lastly, it is true that employees are expected to show up with enough time to start the show at the scheduled time. For this, we pay very well per hour, three and a half times minimum wage.

Pros

The higher-ups are very supportive and the work is some of the most fun I’ve ever had on the job. You get to lead folks in having fun, which is such a cool experience and feels very worthwhile. The world sucks and it’s nice to be people’s escape for a while.

Cons

You don’t get a lot of hours, just because the shows usually only happen at night and only for a few hours, but it great supplemental income if you’re saving up for something!

Pros

This company is fun and professional! It is very much employee/host driven with management being incredibly supportive. Hours are super flexible and as long as youre consistent and punctual there's no reason anyone would have an issue.

Cons

Travel can be a bummer. Doesn't pay the bills (i wish it did!)
