Pros
- Fun crew that will teach you everything you need to know
- Flexible hours: Pick up shifts and let them know when you can work
- Work with gorgeous flowers and get to see top venues in the Austin area
- Room to grow from breakdown crew into setup crew if you're a creative-type who works well with others
- No shortage of great mentours who will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about flowers
- Sometimes getting to interact with clients after the event and hear firsthand how the flowers made their event better
Cons
Not cons but words of caution: This job isn't for everyone!
If you're good with getting wet/dirty, lugging heavy objects, and sometimes working 10 pm to 1 or 2 am while remaining professional (this is a semi-client facing role), you'll do great. Not a must, but a plus if you're comfortable driving 14-seater vans at night.
