Pros

Great money for a part-time job and flexible schedule which worked well for me because I was a full-time student. I got to work at great events throughout the Philadelphia area and was able to sample food at the end of each shift.

Cons

Lifting heavy tables & chairs

Pros

Autonomy Opportunity to forge good client relationships RA has accounts at some pretty interesting locations OK for entry level employee in order to get experience

Cons

No growth opportunity Long hours No support from upper management Approach is to hire based on timing- Not on finding the right candidates- no long term vision Company is in survive mode Beware units with collective bargaining agreements NO work/life balance high turnover In general, stay away from this line of work- even worse with Sodexo, Aramark, etc
