Kinetic Events

Working with Kinetic is great. Paid fairly for an 8-hour day, (paid quickly, also) my co-workers were selected very well, we all got along, and the work itself was straightforward and rather easy.
 I do have to say, however, that the manager we had in this specific job micromanaged a lot, possibly overestimating how difficult the demographic was to reach (aiming for millennial age group, they were out of state and didn't understand the "culture" of our state.), and continually encouraged that we oppressed natural behaviors, making us as brand ambassadors feel limited in our ability to express ourselves in such a way in order to entice and engage our consumer base effectively.
 The people higher up than aforementioned individual, however, were great, easy-going, helpful, and understanding. Highly suggest working with Kinetic so long as they're aware of the managers' personalities and how they affect our ability to work effectively.

A typical day at work involves checking in, sometimes a meeting at the event, being in  uniform and  ready to work. 
I learned alot from my co workers how to help clients and stay focused and what to expect. 
The  hardest part of the job was probably being on your feet for a long time. 

My immediate supervisors/management were usually nice and easy to please. One even gave a me a management assignment. I've managed facilities, events, campaigns, and conferences before this job, one or two mistakes and you're out. Workplace culture: It's sad because you miss the people you met. I mean by mistakes, canceling one event commitment. One uniform discrepancy.  And it was reported by a man in womens clothes. 

Management is completely petty, childish, and painfully disorganized. When you get a job you usually won’t find out until like a day before you have to be there. They will straight up stop giving you jobs if you express any contrasting opinion or call them out for not paying you properly. Pay roll is a mess and the staff won’t help you figure anything out if pay is off. They will just keep putting you in an endless email chain until you get tired of trying to figure it out. There turnover is insanely high for a reason, once you make one mistake they stop giving you jobs and hire a new person in your spot. Though they will never tell you that, but rather just keep you thinking you’re an employee and never give you a job again. Don’t waste your time, and don’t let them trick you into thinking this is a professional company. 

The money’s nice and getting paid every week is even nicer. But there are some things that just shouldn’t fly:

They will stop reaching out to you and you could lose your position without notice. They won’t tell you much of anything and you’ll have to use your own skills to get around and through things to figure them out. They signed me as a W-2, but then changed it to a 1099, which looks bad. 

The managers don’t really contact you, aside from sending jobs that you can do here and there in certain cities. I took a job in LA because I knew I could make it work and two days before, I was told that I wouldn’t be needed. I had already booked my trip. 

So, it’s easy money, but the headache of never knowing much about what you’re doing, who you’re working with, and if you’ll have a job tomorrow makes it not worth the money. 

I have had mostly great experiences working with Kinetic events so I can’t complain. The coworkers I have met have been awesome, fun people. I have found supervisors to be nice and supportive for the most part. Every job you’re assigned has a different supervisor which I don’t mind. The only time I had an issue was with a vendor. They thought they could get away with treating me poorly, but I found Kinetic Events backed me up which was refreshing. Luckily, the event I did right after that was a complete turnaround with the vendor being super kind and appreciative. 

You work parties (like corporate Christmas parties) and conventions (like Dreamforce) where you can be an usher, coat check, attendance tracker, or just assist guests find a certain location. The pay is good per party, and you can turn down shifts when you aren't available.

The only problem is that there aren't a whole lot of events, so there could be weeks without getting a shift. I'm not sure you could make a living doing it, but if you just need extra money to afford a vacation or a concert, this is highly recommended.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Paid weekly with opportunity to work, if the communication is proper, Monday-Sunday. The opportunity to work dayshift or night shift. Outdoor and indoor events that are fun and allowing you to meet new people. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The staffing person not responding to emails or texts for requests to work events.

Events are always interesting, coworkers are great, pay is better than other event staffing agencies. They know what they are doing and their communications are clear and consistent. 

BE AWARE They will tell you there "isn't time" to get you on payroll before your event and classify you as a 1099 with the potential to become an employee in the future. Not cool and very slimy. 

Kinetic Events is one of the best special events groups in The Bay Area. Very professional management, top notch brand ambassadors, and very competitive pay. Highly recommended to anyone interested in working some of the premier events in the area.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I like the flexibility and fun

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Clients don't always give detailed instructions and we are held accountable for following conflicting information.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Totally depends on where we're hired
