Review from Sales Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

The insurance has very high deductables

Review from Operations Dept

The company enters into these over leveraged contracts with the hotels paying the in some cases more than 40% of their revenue. This leaves very lotions for those of us that are forced to support these events. But we are certain that Sr. Leadership has always bonuses but no increase for the team.

HR doesnt trust their directors to give proper offers to qualified individuals

I believe employees at encore would feel valued and feel better about their compensation if they were paid appropriately. Also, when reviews come around each year, the raises that are offered are often laughable. They don't even cover inflation, so you are essentially getting no raise.

Higher pay, better benefits, more staff/help, more incentives.

Compensation is disgustingly low. If you have a good title, you're making far below the state and federal national average for that job pay. When I was hourly, I was making little more than minimum wage for working extensive shifts. I would like pay increases to be inflation + 5-10% per raise cycle.

Review from Operations Dept

Paying me what i am worth. For example, if I'm a rigger, i shouldn't have to do lighting AND the MOD's job while training an AV tech how to rig. If i'm doing multiple people's jobs, i should be paid for it.

Being able to get bonuses

Uncapped commissions would be motivational.

The pay is very low for the industry. The benefits are expensive and offer very little if one might need to use them. The fact that almost every tech leaves the company after gaining experience rather than staying with the company, still cant motivate the company to offer fair pay.

I worked for this company for over 20 years. Laid off due to Covid- I now make twice the amount after one year than working for this company after 20 years.

Pay is well below the industry standard.

Commission structure changed (lowered) 3 times in 3 yrs. No real way to achieve an average 1% But the dangle 1.5% Base pay was low in comparison to others in same position or similar with other companies.

Review from Sales Dept

Chatting with other friends who are managers or in different fields, they always wonder why I cannot make certain quality of life events. For the amount of time worked in comparison to the level of stress and compensation, my family or friends do not approve of the amount of compensation.

Review from Operations Dept

I barely make more than minimum wage, weekends and overtime are compensared at a flat rate. this company takes advantage of its employees

Review from Operations Dept

The work load and expectations required of techs exceed the hourly compensation by a lot. This is a field that requires a pre existing set of skills and PSAV technicians are the lowest paid hourly workers in the industry

Defining the job responsibilities and don't keep adding to the job without proper compensation.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel undervalued because the client is charged $75/hr while I see $17

Be more utilized for something within my skillset, which is video.

Review from Operations Dept

We get tiny raises that don't really change no matter what our performance (great for those not doing much but terrible for the rest of us). And they will force you into a job and not actually promote you to it with the accompanying pay for months, with no apology or thanks.
