The Cutting Edge Elite, Inc — Local services in Ashland

I’ve worked with CEE for 4 years now, and overall I’ve had a good experience with the company. They value dedicated, hard workers, so if that’s you, it’s easy to fit in and do well in this company and type of work. I can count on one hand the times the work I’ve done on a CEE-booked job has been legitimately challenging; the work we do 95% of the time is very simple, straight forward work. Combine that with the extreme flexibility of schedule and you have the ideal job for someone who is in NYC to pursue other things.

Cutting Edge does a good job at putting people into lead positions who understand how to manage a small- sometimes larger- team; the team managers- aka lieutenants- submit an LT Report after each event, so the company stays updated on who is working well, who isn’t, who’s a standout employee, and also how the client is on the ground, good or bad.

The main area I’d really love CEE to improve upon is the booking process for employees. The booking agents seem to change every few months, which makes it virtually impossible to establish any familiarity with your booking needs and habits. There is an availability calendar that has all but ceased to matter. Finally, the communication between the various booking agents seems nonexistent; CEE has quite a large staff pool, so there needs to be a central information hub that contains each employee’s bookings, DNS’s, schedule, and more. Having this tool will allow the booker’s to maintain up-to-date info on each employee, share it with each other, and it needs to be meaningfully referenced by each booker prior to sending offers for each job.

If you’re a hard worker, a team player, can handle taking direction, enjoy experiencing different people and work environments, and need a flexible schedule and decent pay, then I would definitely...

Sheer perfection. As a Type A+ person, I can confidently say that Lucas and the team at Cutting Edge Elite are an absolute godsend. They staffed three of our events during the busiest week in New York, and every single person they sent was outstanding.

Professional, proactive, and seamlessly integrated into our team, the CEE staff didn't just show up and do the job, they consistently asked how else they could help. That kind of initiative is rare and incredibly valuable.

One of the things that impressed me most: guests couldn’t tell who was from our company and who was from CEE. That’s how well they blended in and represented our brand. Each team member elevated our events with enthusiasm, professionalism, and a collaborative spirit that’s hard to find.

I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with Lucas and his team again. They set a new standard for what event...

I have been a member of the Cutting Edge Elite team for the past three years. It's truly a fun place to work. Every gig is a new adventure, as we work with a variety of clients, and delivering stellar levels of service in different types of events throughout the Greater NYC area. It's a fantastic company for people who are self-starters and have a passion for hospitality and events. The fact that there is great team collaboration among my colleagues makes all the difference, as it's very important to have a willing and cooperative crew. Furthermore, my fellow co-workers are fun, entertaining, and hard working people with various professional backgrounds. Because of this, I always learn something new and interesting by working alongside them. Cutting Edge Elite allows great flexibility when it comes to scheduling, which allows me to stay focused on other jobs,...
