Wouldn't recommend - Catering Lead Beacon Hill Events Employee Review

From my 5+ years working with Beacon Hill in a variety of roles, I've found that this business offers a team-oriented work environment with thoughtful business practices and many growth opportunities. All staff enjoy company provided meals on almost all shifts as well as exposure to a diverse range of events, local businesses and people. Event staff employees enjoy a lot of perks that are not always accommodate for at other local companies, such as: - Reasonable event end times (typically no later than 10:30 pm) - A tip share program for all service staff that encourages teamwork and helps value all staff more equitably - Training programs - Opportunities to springboard into an events career with valued references from Beacon Hill employment experience Salaried employees also enjoy some rare benefits: - Consistent and reasonable schedules that do not require full time staff to attend every event he/she plans - Collaborative work environment where input is valued - Financially responsible business practices that ensure job security - A variety of tasks within one role - A owner operated company where the owner is a vital part of the business' success.

The event industry is notoriously busy and can be stressful work. I have found this to be true in any event location that I have worked.

In my 8.5 years with Beacon Hill I was able to utilize my customer service and event planning talents in an atmosphere that both challenged and empowered me. I truly had a voice and was able to provide valued input as the business experienced growth and as we took on new clients, venues, and worked to develop our brand. It was exciting to be a part of such an innovative event planning and catering business! The Leadership Team is completely in touch with the business and committed to the professional development of all their employees. The staff I managed and worked with were incredibly talented, intelligent, hard-working and very much team players. We relied on each other to problem solve and to make each event memorable for our clients. There definitely is a culture of open communication where every employee's input and ideas are valued.

The work is hard and very challenging at times - especially since you are working with clients on their most exciting, emotional, and stressful days of their lives. Event planning and customer service takes a lot of patience and you really have to be willing to work hard and to do it with a smile at all times. The supportive culture at Beacon Hill made the hard work worth it!
