RMC Events

Working at RMC you can meet many wonderful people but beware of the Management that is not present during your shift. They do not know you, they have never seen you work, they do not care about your problems nor professional goals. To them you are just a number on a spreadsheet and the info that gets passed on from a Staff Lead or anonymous tip. I was very fortunate to not have any serious HR incidents in my time there, but I had coworkers who weren’t so lucky. The turnover is very high among Ambassadors for many reasons and you will notice it’s a revolving door of people you will work with. They hire multiple cohorts of new low level staff over the course of the year, and it becomes very clear that they view everyone as replaceable. The two day training is insufficient to tell you enough about the actual job, and you will need another 2-3 days of training from someone who is actually on the campus everyday and can show you where your posts are as well as answer questions. If you become the person who has to train all of these new hires, you could end up doing it for the same rate as your trainee.  This is despite having all of the knowledge your trainee lacks. If you do a great job, you will be asked train all of your future replacements most likely for no extra pay.  You may have a great relationship with your Staff Leads (Supervisors with limited power that are actually there on your shift) and they may appreciate/respect you more than anyone, but the higher level management that you rarely, (if ever,) see can make your job way more stressful than it needs to be, without ever seeing you face to face. I did this job 5 days a week in extreme weather conditions in every season for multiple years. This job WILL take a toll on your body. I made friends with many of the coworkers I got to see on the regular, but left feeling nothing but antagonized by the upper management that was never present on my shift. All of the people that make the biggest decisions about the Ambassador program are never around to know what it is actually like during a normal shift, just know what you are walking into. If you have a serious incident and media is present for the aftermath, you are contractually obligated to refer them to someone who is never actually there during your shift to comment so the company can control bad PR. 

A typical day (or night) at work involves arriving at the check-in area. At large event, it will be at a table/ designated meeting place for staff to arrive. At smaller events, you will be told where to meet your site supervisor. I learn a lot of great skills such as interacting with people. I learn about the areas I am working at. Management is good and is flexible. You just have to communicate with them involving your work schedule and assignment preferences. For example, when you set your schedule and you know you want to do parking, make a note of it. This helps them plan ahead. You may not get your exact spot, so a little flexibility may be needed by the employee as with any job. 
If you need to call off, you can do so, just let them know ASAP when you know you can't make it for a shift. When you schedule yourself for events and shifts, try to schedule things you know that you can make it to unless something comes up such as a family emergency. That way if you have to call off, no problem. They are super flexible, but be respectful of their time especially with large events. 
The hardest part of the job is to be on your feet for hours on a time, so be prepared accordingly. Even so, the most enjoyable part of the job is to work hard and help others and keep things safe and orderly, and making things enjoyable for the people we serve.

I love the company overall as a whole but certain management sucks. Improvement is needed in certain areas. Communication is off and I sometimes received no response or late ones (late responses are ok because other things were taking place so it's understandable). Supervisors need to have more authority when it comes to giving direct orders and officers following them or they need to be written up when it comes to breaks because I'm not coming is unacceptable. I know because I had a supervisor position before and that would never fly.

There is never a typical day when working for RMC Events. I enjoy that allot.  I never know what my assignment will be.  Sometimes I can stand for many hours just observing the situations around me and protecting my target.  While other times I may be in a higher demanded position where I am conducting searches while processing hundreds of people into a venue.  Still other times I may be needed to provide information and directions for large groups arriving or leaving.
The hardest part of the job is having to be stern with people when you really want to be nice.  I learned that if you are too nice there will be those who will take that as a sign of weakness when performing an authoritative roll. 
The most enjoyable part of my job is that I can work when I want to, as long as RMC Events has venues where security is needed. And of course, many of the venues are at sporting events and concerts. I enjoy observing people.  We humans are very interesting......

It's a good place for people looking to pick up a little extra spending money. Students and retirees  It's very similar to a temp agency. It's not a place to earn a living or any room for advancement. There's been good people working there for years and never seen an increase is pay.  The people that manage the business have created a lot of distance between themselves and the site employees.  Other than a polo shirt you will need to purchase your own uniform, such as a coat. You will be responsible for costs associated with the required training. The people you work with are generally pretty good. The site supervisors are also great, understanding that the employee's aren't getting paid much.

It can be an enjoyable place to work but considering the out of pocket expenses, working in all type of weather, often times long hours on your feet, mostly nights and weekends and the responsibility that goes with "security" work; You don't really do this job for the money.

RMC is a terrible place to work if you need stability. They will cancel your shift last minute with no warning and try to place you somewhere else that does not align with your availability. They inconvenience you, but YOU get penalized for it. The supervisors are rude, they don't have anything to do so they ride around in their jeeps to find small things to snitch on adults about. If you have an illness or kids that get sick often, they will fire you.. even when you provide the required paperwork for an excused absence. They let some officers sleep on the job and help them stay up, and others just get fired first incident. They pick and choose which rules apply to certain officers. Mental health will be affected. But if you need quick money and not many responsibilities at a job, go for it. But you can't grow with this company. 

It's a high turnover field if you work outside. Training could be better. People that work the hourly positions  were nice for the most part, people in management are stretched way too thin. They operate 24/7/365 in the Ambassador section so holidays and weekends are a must as well as nights if you accept that schedule and they aren't for everyone. I enjoyed my time there for the most part, though there were people who wanted my position and eventually got their way. Management should have stood up to them because I wanted what was best for the company and those people wanted what was best for them.  They all left within  a couple months of taking over my job. I then was asked to return. Never should have happened in the first place.  You don't do that to people who are there trying to help you improve your business. 

RMC Events provides consistent and high-paying work that's so easy a jellyfish could do it. However, since RMC Events is an Employment Agency, it's basically like working for a battery that's only job is to charge itself. The Ambassador program will hire anybody who walks in, even people who can't speak English, or who have no semblance of integrity or professionalism. The people who do the hiring do not have to suffer for their poor hiring decisions, everyone else does. I have great memories with select co-workers, but those memories usually involved us rebelling against the system we came to resent. This job is ideal for people are coming off a major life setback, and need an environment to vegetate and  process what they did wrong and how they got there.

Not knowing who is in charge on the security side of the company.

Work environment is horrible no leadership. Culture is terrible but of grown kids disobeying orders. Leaders talk about the worker behind their backs. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day on the security side is not knowing what to do and always filling in for someone else that calls out. the post will on the other side of downtown.

The ability to work with, for and among the wide groups of culture, age, professions, economic status, and educational level. People you would of never taught you would of met in your lifetime, the aquanauts you gain through your travels. The knowledge and information you have gained by meeting , different individuals, having to do things you never taught you could of. Things that made you more educated ,knowledgeable and most of all experience that only you being there at the time and doing the things you did that gave you the invaluable  knowledge ,understanding and wisdom to become who you are today.
