I doubt I'm going to do business with Kern Scheduling any more. I got stiffed doing an assignment for them, doing a theater shop. I had to remember the names and descriptions of 3-4 people, get the time the movie started, the time the previews started, count how many times the workers did a theater check, and some how count how many people are in the theater at the end of the movie for a whopping $7.00???? These people really need to take a reality check and ask themselves if this is worth it! I mean, you sometimes spend at least an hour doing the darn paperwork at the house, with that in mind, some of their shops you don't even make $1.00 an hour on! The movie was an hour and a half, you had to be there 30 minutes early, so you got paid about $2.33/hour when you figure up your time for doing the paperwork and all. I wonder how much the bozo's scheduling the shop getting paid, reckon it's $2.33 / hour?
