Big Night Entertainment Group

I loved working for Big Night Entertainment Group (BNEG). I began working for them in the fall of 2012 when I was hired as a support staff at Red Lantern Restaurant and Lounge. There is where I fell in love with their management and the environment. Within six months of me being there, they noticed my tenacious work ethic, I was asked to help open BNEG's new venue in Boston, Gem Italian Kitchen. 

Here I was advanced up from Support Staff to the Head of Support Staff. I helped train their new employees and was given the freedom to manage them as my underlings. Being entrusted as the head of their support team showed that management believed in what I stood and supported me. After another seven months I was asked again to help open another new venue in Boston, Empire Restaurant and Lounge. 

At Empire I was bought on as a Server, a transition which not too many support staff have done. Within the next three after my promotion, I was already being asked to train new hire's which were being brought on as Servers. BNEG is the best place to work if you are looking for advancements from within. If you prove that you are deserving of it, they will give it.

As an intern at Studio B I would clean the machines and equipment as well as vacuuming, cleaning mirrors, cleaning bathrooms, and windows. I make coffee runs as well as organizing and selling clothes in the shop. I would also advertise  Studio B clothes by modeling for them. 
As a Pilates instructor, I would pop music to encourage my clients to  move with the beat of the music. I had older clients(70yrs) as well as adults in their 30's. I created a workout class that would suit the needs and abilities for my clients. I would creates modifications during the exercise if a client was struggling with that certain movement. MY co-partners are super friendly and will workout with you in their spare time. Giving each other feed back after the class ends is a beneficial way to evaluate one another. 
The most enjoyable part of working at Studio B is working in such a stress-free environment with co-workers that respect and  value the same things as me.

I really enjoyed my time at Shrine Services. I worked there for seven years, and will greatly miss it. We raised funds for the Shriners, and I felt that I was making a difference in the world. My co-workers were lively and full of enthusiasm. Their enthusiasm was fueled by our manager, who was always positive and exuberant. While the career experience I gained from Shrine Services was extensive, I most value the interpersonal lessons I learned. I was coached by my manager how to more successfully interact with our customers, co-workers, and management. The only hardships associated with my job were the same as a person would experience anywhere and were overcome with patience and perseverance. The only drawbacks to the job was that we were a small office with very little opportunity for career advancement. When the time came for a change in management, our corporate office didn't feel there was enough need to keep us open.

Most enjoyable part is the lively atmosphere and being able to give the guests a  fun experience. The hardest part of the job is the staff. the managers, chefs, and other servers are very rude to the hosts and were often disrespectful towards us.  The hosts come in and go fast because the staff directs all their anger towards the hosts, making it not a safe environment. I’ve seen another host cry on her first week of the job because the general manager was so verbally abusive to her over seating a guest at the wrong table. The managers are also vwet inexperienced so it felt like they were making up the rules as they went along. The job is easy, but the staff in the restaurant made working there unbearable

Management favored senior girls, left new girls with little chance to make money if they werent assigned a high minimum table. If you live far away it might not be right fit for you, I drove an hour to work everyday and sometimes left with nothing. On the days I did make good money, felt like it was making up for the missed $ days. I didnt feel heard by the management when I asked for more. Its super competitive and feels a bit catty. But it was an experience of a lifetime to work at this nightclub. I even handed 50 cent a bottle of champagne because i led the parade. 

This company thrives on motivating by intimidation, they are not inclusive, they have different rules for different managers.  They are not welcoming, and some might say the work environment can be hostile and toxic.  There are people in positions that don't have the relevant experience or knowledge to do the job with integrity.  There needs to be a change in leadership, this is no longer a world of the good old boys club, but yet that is what the environment feels like.  There are inappropriate employment practices and no accountability.  They let people go without warning, good people, people that could change the culture to something positive and encouraging.  Best advice, don't accept employment from this agency.

From February 2019-August 2019 I wrote, produced, and starred in a One-Woman-Show. While "Shrine" was not my full time job (I nannied and worked for a historic site during this time), I listed it in my resume as the creative work that went into the project was meaningful and closely linked with the kind of work I want to create in the future. 

I learned how to promote myself and my work both on/off social media, how to communicate efficiently and effectively with the lighting and camera crew, and how to manage time working multiple jobs while also rehearsing and creating a show on my own. It was an extremely rewarding experience and is reflective of the work I would bring to any future work positions.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Opportunity for growth. Fun and fast pace work environment. Great coworkers sharing similar interests.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
High intensity nights with top tier artists to provide excellent service can be stressful but its fun and exciting 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Top Notch very professional and fun

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Slight paperwork, checking in with staff, getting ready for the nights. Checking in with guests and making the Nighy run smooth

MS has one of the most interesting and diverse working environments I have ever work in. At no time was there nothing to do, and everyone was focused on the things they were doing, as an electronics technician there the learning and doing was open to all that worked in your group, and everyone was willing to help and teach or learn. 

The 'campus' is all over the place and it is like its own little world, complete with their own bus service.

They cut employees’ hours without notifying them before the shift, which makes it hard to address the issue with management. The working environment is fun, but managers, supervisors, and chefs are rude and show little respect for the staff. They enforce strict rules, allowing clock-ins only within five minutes before or after the scheduled time. Management also believes that cutting employees’ hours will save them a lot of money. They don’t even provide meals for their employees, as they’re focused on saving money and reducing food costs. WHAT A SHAME!
