Absolutely awful

Pros

The pay is pretty good.

Cons

Work conditions are awful. Labor required is borderline slavery. You are essentially pantry staff, server and event space staff as you have to set up and break down the event venue. Management is god awful! The most disrespectful group of people I’ve ever come across in a professional setting. Complain and will throw a hissy fit if you eat during a 12 hour shift. Management literally do not care about the staff. Managament at Winterthur and Penn museum steal tips from the staff which is absolutely disgusting. When given the opportunity to give staff left over food and drink management will deliberately throw away food JUST to prevent butler staff from having it. The food provided was sometimes hot sometimes cold. Usually cold and scraps. Listen, I usually do not write reviews but I promised myself once I left I would tell as many people about this place as possible. By far the worst place I’ve ever worked in my history.
