Pros

It's fun Pays okay I met some nice people

Cons

You can end up driving for 2 hours to get to a party with barely any money for petrol as they apparently just go off what Google estimate it to be Management and office staff couldn't give a damn about you being sick. They don't leave enough staff to cover your parties so God help you if you're ill because that's apparently your fault!!! Not their horrific management, I've heard of people being charged on excess of £400 because they were ill. I never dared to call in sick out of fear of the repercussions which was no way to live. Can't believe they think that putting their entertainer out of pocket is the way to go about things! Yet the owner will happily show off his sports cars, absolutely disgusting behaviour Also very misleading about what you'll be paid. Oh and not to mention that you have to pay over £1000 for equipment before you even start and are then expected to travel up to 60 miles every weekend for free during your training for at least 10 weeks. You also have to travel to a training venue and do that for free too.

Pros

* The amount you're paid for parties ( plus milage claimed for anything outside your zone) is more than fair. Genuinely an excellent rate and there's never any mess ups with pay either. * Management and everyone involved in the office side of the company are super friendly and professional to a high standard. Super approachable and a great sense of humour ( as expected of entertainers though!) * Hours suit you as you choose your availability way in advance and with that being said there is never any real shortage of parties! The boss puts a lot of effort into your area via the magic of promotion but your own reputation will work wonders for you too! * Training is of a high standard so even if you've never done anything of the sort before they will make you feel like a top notch entertainer by the end, including having you shadow parties with an already established entertainer which honestly helps out so much! * Its super fun plus you get an entertainer name! I was only with the company for just under a couple years but I thoroughly enjoyed my time as Rad Roo! Staff Christmas Party ( thrown in springtime as Xmas is a busy time for parties!) is a great laugh!

Cons

*Have a decent sized car! I started off with a Toyota Aygo and don't get me wrong you CAN do it (your Tetris skills come in handy) but it's a lot easier if you got a bit of space!
