Turdstage I used to contract with Upstage. The shorted me almost $1,000 for a job I did for them, and I'm not the only one. They don't do background checks, and they encourage drug use among some of their employees. I wouldn't trust this company, explore your options, there are better outfits out there.

Upstage isn't a legitimate business and they violate every labor law on the books. They don't pay much, they don't pay what they agree to pay, and sexual harassment and assault are common and employees are shammed for reporting it. They don't report the huge number of accidents at work and refuse to take people to the hospital for even the most serious injuries. They made a female employee work 4 hours after she complained her foot was injured after an employee ran over it with a 500 lb cart. The employee suffered 3 brok... read more

Take the blessings with the curse – I worked for this company for some time, was never more than a box pusher for most of it. I enjoy the work and the environment. Rumors fly within every organization. What I will impart to potential clients of this organization is that they break records getting bands loaded and out of the venue. They staff appropriately and hire knowledgeable staff. Everyone works fast and together and I'm pretty sure they seek to keep their people well fed on the job. What happens internally is beyond my ... read more

Very shady business – As a former employee of this get-up I have a somewhat unique perspective. When I interviewed for the position I applied for I was told that I would be making a certain amount per hour. When I received my first paycheck the rate I was being paid at was more than HALF less than what I was told I would be making. Over the course of the next month I tried to talk to Marshall Eggers, the President and the man who hired me. He was never available in the office though. Finally after a month and a half I was ab... read more

they employ fugitives – they don't even deserve one star - but being that a rating is required...... as of 02 March 2010: they currently have a fugitive (state of texas - bexar county & state of tennessee) under contract as a crew chief/steward with their company & they really don't seem to have an issue with it. so buyer beware i have paper work & email trails to prove it.

Use caution – Not sure how they are as far as setting up and taking down stages and stuff, but use caution if you use them. Some of their employees have sticky fingers and like to unhook and steal other contractors expensive equipment and personal tools and belongings. On a nicer note, the owner was very helpful and apologetic after finding out about the theft, and seemed very disturbed by the theft. He has collected the stolen items himself and has supposedly shipped them back. Hopefully he does the right thing for his busi... read more
