High Turnover and Poor Culture Driven from the Top - Administrative Assistant Gesture Employee Review

Really creative and trustness company

Actually, there is no big compliant about this company.

Technology component is most user-friendly in marketplace. Gesture also provides a team of on-site representatives to assist with registration/mobile bidding/silent auction area the night of the special event.

The client can expect to pay up to $1200 additional for the extra person (most notable when moving from a 4 to 5 person team, I believe ) however, the Independent Contractor is paid just $18-$20 per hour and receives on-site training an hour before the event. The contractor is told to NOT give the client any inclination that she is not an actual employee of Gesture and is given a branded button-down to change into when she arrives on-site. The "middle man" in charge of filling the IC positions is an event staffing company called 360promonetwork.com. Unfortunately, I don't think Gesture has any idea how unprofessional 360 is at filling these positions. ICs are expected to apply for events but, are confirmed just 3-4 days prior; if the IC has not kept the date open, she is removed from the database completely. The talent booked for the events ranges greatly - some ICs are completely unfamiliar with the product which means other ICs are having to cover/assist. 360 will pay talent different rates but, not because of experience, moreso because the IC may have been hired as a last minute replacement via craigslist (and thus, is brought in at a higher hourly rate).
